HO P42 with DCC and Sound Amtrak 50th Phase V #46 (ATHG81317)

HO-scale Amtrak P42DC locomotive in the 50th Anniversary Phase V livery, road number 46, with DCC and sound. This officially licensed Amtrak model faithfully recreates the Genesis-era passenger locomotive in commemorative Phase V paint, offering a true-to-life tribute to Amtrak’s 50-year heritage on an HO layout.

Designed for HO layouts, this ready-to-run model blends authentic detail with modern electronics: a DCC-ready Quick Plug system (21-pin NEM) and a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder with dual 28mm speakers deliver engine, horn, and bell sounds that respond to control inputs. It features LED headlights, ditch lights, and marker lights for realistic illumination, plus flexible MU hoses, a trainline hose, and separately applied wire handrails. The drivetrain uses a robust Genesis-inspired design with all-wheel drive, RP25 wheels, and reliable current pickup, while McHenry scale knuckle couplers are compatible with Kadee couplers. Road number 46 is one of Amtrak’s Phase V commemorative units, and the model showcases three nose variations—Amtrak as-built, Amtrak rebuilt (bolted-on nose), and Via Rail configurations—to faithfully mirror prototype detail.
