HO P42DC Locomotive AMTK Phase III #9 (ATHG-1668)

This HO-scale Amtrak P42DC Genesis locomotive in Phase III as-delivered livery, unit number 9, is a meticulously detailed ready-to-run model designed to bring authentic Amtrak Genesis power to an HO layout. Officially licensed and painted in Amtrak’s Phase III scheme, this release reflects the as-delivered look for Phase III Genesis locomotives and is part of a broader lineup that includes road-number-specific variations.

Under the hood, the model features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor and a die-cast frame for strong tractive effort and smooth operation, plus a richly detailed undercarriage with piping, air filters, and an air dryer. LED headlights, ditch lights, and front and rear marker lights illuminate the rails, while DCC/Sound-equipped versions use a Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers and full DC/DCC functionality. DCC-ready variants use Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors and McHenry knuckle couplers for reliable coupling, and the nose, antenna arrangements, and other prototypical details mirror the Phase III as-delivered scheme for this road number. The model rides on RP25 wheels and is designed for HO-track use with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
