HO P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound, AMTK Phase III #23 (ATHG-1687)

HO Scale P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Amtrak Phase III livery, road number 23. This fully assembled, ready-to-run HO model recreates Amtrak’s Genesis passenger locomotive with a detailed cab interior and authentic Phase III styling. The DCC-equipped version includes a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers, LED headlights, ditch lights, and independently controlled marker lights for lifelike operation. Official Amtrak artwork and four nose configurations—Amtrak as-built with strobes, Amtrak as-built without strobes, Amtrak rebuilt, and Via Rail—let you match a range of Phase III units on your layout.

Designed for HO layouts, this locomotive sits on a redesigned die-cast frame for strong traction and durability. It features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor, precision machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel drive and electrical pickup. McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible), RP25 wheels, and LED lighting including running ditch lights and marker lights add to realism. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play and a 21-pin NEM connector, and the minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for reliable curve clearance.
