Bring modern Amtrak passenger operations to your HO Scale railroad with the Athearn Genesis HO Scale GE P42DC Amtrak Phase V #69 – DCC Ready – ATHG-1678. This highly detailed Genesis model represents Amtrak AMTK #69 wearing the familiar Phase V paint scheme, which served as the standard Amtrak locomotive appearance for more than two decades.
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 combined the distinctive streamlined Genesis body design with the performance required for Amtrak's intercity passenger operations.
Athearn recreates Amtrak #69 with its road-number-specific PTC antenna farm featuring the distinctive “box” platform. Phase V details also include angled air dryer guards and prototype-specific Amtrak detailing. The model features a detailed cab interior, illuminated number boards, LED lighting, flexible rubber MU and trainline hoses, separately applied wire handrails, an 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 operation. 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.
