HO P40DC Locomotive Phase V #816 (ATHG82278)

An HO-scale P40DC Locomotive, Phase V, in Amtrak livery (road number 816) is a detailed Genesis diesel designed to haul passenger trains on HO layouts. The model reproduces the Phase V Amtrak look with a newly tooled body, cab-mounted strobe lights and an emergency light (operational in DCC), a five-chime forward-facing horn, and front and rear marker lights, complemented by authentic Amtrak artwork. Road-number variations reflect different rebuilds and nose configurations across the fleet, including Phase V repaints and bolt-on nose updates for certain units.

Ready to run, the locomotive features LED lighting, a DCC-ready Quick Plug with a 21-pin NEM connector, and a die-cast frame for robust performance. Sound-equipped versions use a Tsunami2 decoder with dual 28mm speakers, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC. With RP25 wheel contours and all-wheel electrical pickup, it delivers smooth operation on common HO tracks and fits minimum radii of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). A “Primed for grime” finish offers a realistic in-service look and an inviting starting point for weathering.
