N F59PHI CDTX #2008 High-Speed Locomotive (ATH15308)

An N‑scale EMD F59PHI High‑Speed Locomotive in CDTX #2008 livery, this fully assembled model is ready to run out of the box. The F59PHI is a lightweight, high‑speed commuter locomotive designed by EMD in the 1990s and used by Amtrak on multiple routes, as well as METRA, North Carolina Piedmont, and Metrolink services. It features LED lighting for realistic headlights, see‑through cab windows, and a heavy die‑cast frame for solid weight and traction, along with McHenry knuckle couplers, bi‑directional lighting, and all‑wheel drive designed for smooth operation on Code 55 and 80 rail.

Available in non‑sound DCC‑ready form or as a sound‑equipped model with an onboard DCC decoder and Tsunami2 sound, the locomotive uses a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor with flywheels and a multi‑link drive for dependable performance. All‑wheel electrical pickup, detailed decoration, and multiple road numbers help recreate an authentic prototype look, while the F59PHI’s real‑world history—as seen on Amtrak California routes, METRA, Piedmont, Metrolink, and beyond—adds depth to any commuter‑rail roster.
