HO F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound, AMTK/10th Anniversary #457 (ATH64949)

This HO-scale F59PHI Locomotive with DCC and Sound recreates Electro‑Motive Division’s high‑speed F59PHI, produced from 1994 to 2001. The model features an isolated cab, lightweight body and streamlined silhouette, faithfully capturing the prototype’s look for California’s CDOT and Amtrak service. In AMTK 10th Anniversary livery, it provides a distinctive centerpiece for modern-era layouts and proto-freelance storytelling.

Designed for HO layouts, this ready-to-run locomotive combines authentic detail with practical operation. LED lighting, a DCC-ready Quick Plug system with a 21-pin NEM connector, see-through glazing, and finely detailed elements like horn, grab irons and scale handrails enhance realism. The model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive, a 5‑pole motor and flywheels, and RP25 wheels for smooth pulling power. For sound enthusiasts, onboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx delivers engine, horn and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes, with full DCC functionality and NMRA-compatible CVs. It supports multiple functions, offers excellent slow-speed performance and light effects, and is suitable for minimum 18" radius curves and MU lashups with other locomotives.
