HO P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound, AMTK Phase V #144 (ATHG-1698)

HO scale P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound in Amtrak Phase V #144. Officially licensed by Amtrak, this Genesis-class model brings the power and detail of Amtrak's Phase V locomotives to HO layouts. It is a ready-to-run locomotive featuring a highly detailed cab interior, a robust die-cast frame for strong pulling power, and an intricately detailed undercarriage with piping, air lines, air filters and an air dryer. The DCC-equipped version uses a Tsunami2 sound decoder with dual speakers to deliver engine rumble, horn and bell along with LED headlights, ditch lights, and marker lights that illuminate and respond to the horn for a realistic operation. With multiple nose variations and Phase V antenna configurations, it faithfully replicates Amtrak units as well as Via Rail Canada appearances.

Road-number specific details for this unit include #144 with a PTC antenna farm, plus other configurations such as #69, #123, #141, #142, #162 and #201. Built for HO-scale reliability, it rides on RP25 wheels with McHenry scale knuckle couplers, a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, quiet operation and strong electrical pickup. It is fully assembled and ready to run, with Quick Plug DCC interfacing for easy setup on DCC layouts and NMRA-compatible light and sound features that enhance layout realism on both DC and DCC systems.
