Add one of Amtrak's distinctive heritage locomotives to your passenger fleet with the Athearn Genesis HO Scale GE P42DC Amtrak Phase IV Heritage #164 – DCC Ready – ATHG-1674. This highly detailed Genesis model represents Amtrak AMTK #164 wearing its special Phase IV Heritage paint scheme, recreating one of the commemorative locomotives produced to celebrate Amtrak's history.
The GE P42DC became a cornerstone of Amtrak's passenger locomotive fleet, operating nationwide on both short- and long-distance passenger trains. Rated at 4,250 horsepower with a top speed of 100 mph, the P42DC combines the distinctive streamlined Genesis body design with the performance required for Amtrak's intercity passenger operations.
Athearn recreates Amtrak #164 with its road-number-specific PTC antenna farm featuring the distinctive “box” platform. This release also marks the first appearance of Phase IV Heritage #164 in Athearn's Genesis line. Additional details include a finely rendered cab interior, illuminated number boards, LED headlights and ditch lights, flexible rubber MU and trainline hoses, separately applied wire handrails, exhaust stack, photo-etched metal radiator fan grille, and extensive underframe detailing.
This locomotive is DCC Ready with Athearn Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM decoder connector for installation of a compatible aftermarket DCC decoder. Rear marker lights are installed but are not connected on the DCC Ready version.
Underneath, Athearn's Genesis driveline combines a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision-machined flywheels, a multi-link drivetrain, all-wheel drive, and all-wheel electrical pickup for smooth and reliable performance. A completely redesigned die-cast frame provides excellent tractive effort, while McHenry scale knuckle couplers and RP25 wheel contours complete this fully assembled, ready-to-run Amtrak locomotive.
