HO AMD103/P42 Amtrak 50th Anniversary Phase VI Locomotive (ATHG81118)

An HO-scale AMD103/P42 Amtrak 50th Anniversary Phase VI Locomotive is a detailed, ready-to-run model of Amtrak’s Genesis P42DC, celebrating the railroad’s 50th anniversary with the Phase VI commemorative livery. Officially licensed by Amtrak, this locomotive is designed for HO layouts and offers authentic styling and performance for recreating both long-distance and everyday Amtrak service on a model railroad.

Highlights include three nose variants—Amtrak as-built, Amtrak rebuilt, and Via—plus features like flexible MU hoses, a photo-etched radiator grille, and a redesigned die-cast frame for improved tractive effort. The model uses RP25 wheels with all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation, and LED lighting with operating ditch lights and marker lights. It is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector, and McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) complete the prototype look. Sound-equipped versions add a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual 28mm speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while remaining compatible with both DC and DCC operation. Fully assembled, accurately painted, and packaged for safe storage, this locomotive is ready to bring Amtrak’s commemorative fleet to any HO layout.
