N F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound (ATH15969)

An N-scale F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed, ready-to-run model that reproduces the lightweight, high-speed EMD F59PHI used by CDOT and Amtrak California. This version includes onboard SoundTraxx sound and a DCC decoder, delivering authentic engine notes, horn, and bell cues that work in both DC and DCC operation, with full DCC functionality when run in DCC mode. It arrives fully assembled and finished in Legendary Liveries for a striking, collectible look right out of the box.

Designed for dependable performance on modern layouts, the F59PHI rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup for steady traction and current flow. A 5-pole skew-wound motor with machined flywheels delivers smooth, quiet operation, while the injection-molded body is richly detailed with painted and printed decoration and see-through cab windows. McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a multi-link drive train add to the prototypical feel, and the model can negotiate tight curves (minimum radius 9 3/4 inches) on Code 55 and 80 rails. It carries multiple road numbers and supports MU lashups for realistic consists on your layout.
