HO F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound, AMTK #450 (ATH64948)

HO scale F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a detailed representation of the EMD high‑speed passenger locomotive, designed for authentic HO‑scale railroading. Built in the mid‑1990s for Amtrak California and other operators, the real F59PHI is noted for its isolated cab, lightweight body, and streamlined silhouette, and this model captures that look for realistic passenger service on layout tracks.

Key features include LED lighting for a lifelike appearance and DCC‑ready design with a Quick Plug 21‑pin NEM connector, plus see‑through window glazing and radiator fans for added realism. Additional details—separately applied horn and wire grab irons, Celcon scale handrails, a snowplow, and McHenry knuckle couplers—enhance fidelity, while a heavy die‑cast frame and all‑wheel drive provide smooth, powerful operation. The model uses a 5‑pole skew wound motor for reliable performance and is available in Legendary Liveries with iconic paint schemes. Sound versions feature Onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC with full DCC functionality and CV‑based adjustments for lashups. It is fully assembled and ready to run, with a minimum operating radius of 18 inches to suit common HO curves.
