HO P42 DCC & Sound Amtrak 50th Midnight Blue (ATHG81314)

HO Scale Amtrak 50th Anniversary Midnight Blue P42DC Locomotive with DCC & Sound is a detailed, ready-to-run model that recreates Amtrak’s commemorative Midnight Blue livery on the Genesis-era P42 locomotive. It serves as an authentic centerpiece for HO-scale passenger trains on a home layout, delivering faithful appearance and reliable operation out of the box.

Officially licensed by Amtrak, this model captures prototype details including three nose variations (as-built, rebuilt, and Via) and a die-cast frame for solid traction. It features DCC-ready Quick Plug with a 21-pin NEM connector, a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder with dual 28mm speakers, and LED headlights, ditch lights and marker lights for lifelike illumination. The locomotive uses RP25 wheels and all-wheel drive for smooth running on common HO track, and includes flexible MU hoses, trainline hoses, and separately applied handrails for realism. Fully painted and printed to match the Midnight Blue commemorative scheme, it’s ready to pair with other Amtrak models and can be tuned for MU lashups, with a CV chart included for customization.
