HO P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound, AMTK Phase IV 'NEC' #101 (ATHG-1689)

HO-scale Amtrak P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Phase IV Northeast Corridor livery, unit 101. This highly detailed Genesis-class model faithfully reproduces Amtrak’s Phase IV NEC locomotives, including a cab interior and extensive underbody detailing. It features LED headlights, marker lights, and lit number boards for an authentic appearance, along with multiple nose configurations seen on the real units. On DCC-equipped versions, a Tsunami2 sound decoder with dual speakers delivers realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds that respond to throttle and direction.

Built for HO layouts, the locomotive rides on a redesigned die-cast frame with a five-pole motor and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation. It uses RP25 wheels and McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for reliable coupling, and DCC-ready Quick Plug plug‑and‑play with a 21-pin NMRA connector enables easy digital setup. It runs on both DC and DCC, with full DCC functions available in DCC mode, and supports MU lashups and CV customization. A minimum radius of 18 inches is recommended (22 inches preferred) for best performance. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model brings Amtrak’s Genesis power and Phase IV NEC flair to HO railroad scenes.
