Searching for something that I wanted I came across a fake website "selling" Athearn. Seeing a search result for another suspicious site I decided to see just how many fake sites selling Athearn I could find. So how many fake sites are there selling Athearn? Quite a few, and I got tired of looking through search results after about the 20th page. I found 23 and I'm sure I missed one in my scrolling. The links are all neutralised so they can't be accidentally clicked on. Change the xx to tt if you want to visit at your own caution (you understand that last part don't you?).
For the most part, apart from the too good to be true prices and the common to all the sites Wordpress templates the major give away was the About US pages; Hilarious a "model train" site talking about fashion or backpacks!
These ones from memory only have Athearn or trains in general:
