N F59PHI Amtrak #457 Model Locomotive (ATH15298)

An N-scale Amtrak F59PHI locomotive, number 457, this ready-to-run model brings a modern commuter engine to life on N-gauge layouts. It features LED headlights and detailed Amtrak-style decoration, and is available in both non-sound DCC-ready form and sound-equipped variants that can run on DC or be upgraded for full DCC operation with authentic engine sounds.

Built around a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and a precision geared five-pole motor for smooth, quiet operation, it includes see-through cab windows, McHenry knuckle couplers, and bi-directional lighting. The model runs on Code 55 and Code 80 rail with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches and offers multiple road numbers for roster variety. Sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound, full DCC functionality, and realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds, plus the ability to lash up multiple units and maintain consistent headlight brightness at all speeds.
