HO F59PHI Locomotive AMTK #450 (ATH64848)

HO-scale Amtrak F59PHI Locomotive No. 450 is a high‑speed EMD prototype faithfully reproduced as a ready‑to‑run model. The replica captures the F59PHI’s isolated cab, lightweight, streamlined body, and distinctive profile from its 1994–2001 production period, reflecting service with Amtrak California and other regions. Offered in Legendary Liveries, this edition recreates one of the era’s most recognizable paint schemes for collectors and proto-freelance operators alike.

Designed for HO layouts, the model features LED lighting, DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector, see‑through glazing and radiator details, and separately applied horn and grab irons. It includes Celcon scale handrails, a snowplow, McHenry knuckle couplers, and an all‑wheel‑drive chassis built on a heavy die‑cast frame for strong traction. The 5‑pole skew‑wound motor with flywheels and a multi‑link drive delivers smooth, quiet operation, while RP25‑contour wheels ensure reliable track performance. It arrives fully assembled and decorated in multiple road numbers, with an 18-inch minimum curve radius. A sound‑equipped version adds Onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx, enabling engine, horn, and bell sounds and full DCC functionality, plus the ability to program lashups and adjust CVs for realistic operation.
