HO P42DC Locomotive VIA Love the Way #911 (ATHG81232)

HO Scale VIA Love the Way P42DC Locomotive, Unit #911 — a ready-to-run, highly detailed model of VIA Rail Canada’s Genesis-class P42DC locomotive in the Love the Way livery. Officially licensed and built to mirror the prototype, this VIA unit features the Love the Way artwork, with English on the right side and French on the left, along with an extra nose light, antenna array, dual forward‑facing horns, and forward and rear red marker lights.

Designed for HO layouts, the model is fully assembled and ready to run, with a redesigned die-cast frame for superior tractive effort and a highly detailed undercarriage including MU hoses and handrails. It offers LED headlights, operating ditch lights, and marker lights on both ends, plus RP25 wheels and scale knuckle couplers for reliable operation. DCC-ready versions use a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation, while sound-equipped variants include a Tsunami2 decoder with dual 28mm speakers for engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality and a CV chart for adjustments. A minimum 18" radius is recommended (22" preferred) for smooth operation on common HO layouts. The product is officially licensed by Amtrak, Via Rail Canada, and Operation Lifesaver, reflecting prototype accuracy from multiple sources.
