HO AMD103/P42DC VIA Rail Locomotive (ATHG81111)

HO-scale VIA Rail Canada Genesis locomotive, recreating GE’s P40DC/P42DC in VIA’s teal and green livery. This officially licensed model showcases a newly tooled nose with VIA-specific details and an alternate air dryer, plus a bright front light for visibility. Fully assembled and ready to run, it faithfully reproduces the distinctive VIA artwork and color scheme for authentic layout operation or display.

Designed for HO layouts, the locomotive delivers robust, prototypical performance. Sound-equipped versions feature a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual 28mm speakers, while non-sound models operate in DC. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectivity, and includes LED headlights and ditch lights, scale-underbody detail, RP25 wheels, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. A redesigned die-cast frame adds tractive strength, and careful packaging helps keep the model secure during storage or transport.
