N F59PHI DCC & Sound SCAX #878 Locomotive (ATH15406)

An N-scale EMD F59PHI locomotive with DCC and Tsunami2 sound, SCAX 878, this ready-to-run model captures the look and feel of the high-speed commuter power used across North American railroading. It wears the SCAX 878 livery for a realistic, era-appropriate finish on layouts featuring Amtrak, METRA, and other services.

Fully assembled and ready to run, the model includes an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound that operates on both DC and DCC, with full functions for headlights, horn, and bell. It features bi-directional constant lighting, see-through cab windows, McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and all-wheel drive with a heavy die-cast frame for traction and quiet operation. A 5-pole skew-wound motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive ensures smooth performance, while detailed painting and multiple road numbers add realism on Code 55 and 80 rails. The F59PHI prototype was produced by EMD from 1994 to 2001, reflecting its use across Amtrak, METRA, and other North American networks; minimum radius for operation is 9 3/4 inches.
