HO P40DC Locomotive Amtrak Phase III #839 (ATHG82282)

HO-scale Amtrak P40DC Genesis Locomotive, Phase III, road number 839, is a highly detailed, ready-to-run model built for authentic Amtrak service on HO layouts. Officially licensed by Amtrak, this Phase III version recreates the faded stripe scheme and includes a newly tooled body with cab-mounted strobe lights and an emergency light that operates in DCC. It also features front strobe lights (function in DCC mode), a rear hostler window, and front and rear red marker lights, delivering an authentic presence for both daytime push and nighttime passenger runs.

Under the hood, the Genesis drivetrain rides on a die-cast frame with all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation, and it uses RP25 wheels with McHenry scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee compatible. The model can be ordered in a DCC-ready form with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector, or as a sound-equipped version featuring a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual 28mm speakers for realistic locomotive sounds, horn, and bell. LED headlights, operating ditch lights, rear marker lights, and prototypical underbody detail round out the package, with nose variations to reflect Amtrak and Via Rail Canada. Minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure reliable performance, and the model is fully assembled and ready to run on standard HO layouts.
