N F59PHI METX #90 Locomotive (ATH15300)

EMD F59PHI METX No. 90, an N-scale heritage diesel locomotive. This ready-to-run model captures the distinctive F59PHI profile and offers a Chicago and North Western heritage livery on No. 90, a nod to the lines that still appear on METRA trains today. The design sits in a broader family of liveries inspired by Amtrak, Metra, and other North American services, giving hobbyists a versatile centerpiece for modern-era or heritage layouts.

Fully assembled and ready to run, the locomotive features LED lighting, see-through cab windows, and scale-length McHenry knuckle couplers. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and reliable electrical pickup for smooth, quiet operation. Non-sound versions are DCC-ready, while sound-equipped variants include onboard Tsunami2 sound with full DCC functionality and CV-level configurability for MU lashups. A 5-pole skew-wound motor with flywheels and a multi-link drive train delivers realistic performance, and the model supports multiple road numbers on Code 55 and 80 rails with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. The result is a faithful, engaging centerpiece for a wide range of modern-era trains and heritage scenes.
