HO P42DC Locomotive Amtrak Phase IV #8 (ATHG81234)

HO P42DC Genesis Locomotive in Amtrak Phase IV livery, number 8, is an HO-scale, highly detailed ready-to-run model of Amtrak’s Genesis passenger locomotive. Officially licensed Amtrak-painted units reproduce the Phase IV scheme with road-number-specific antennas and the original nose, delivering an authentic silhouette for Amtrak-era layouts. Variants in the lineup include Amtrak as-built with or without strobes and Via Rail Canada versions, with the number 8 unit styled to its Phase IV repaint and distinctive antenna arrangement.

Inside, the model packs prototypical detail and performance: LED headlights and front/rear marker lights, and operating ditch lights on equipped versions. Sound-equipped models feature a Tsunami2 decoder with dual 28mm speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while DC and DCC operation are supported on the DCC-ready platform via a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector. The chassis uses a redesigned die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and RP25 wheels for smooth, quiet operation on HO track, and it’s built to run on typical layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended).
