HO Kato GE P42 "Genesis" Amtrak Phase I Locomotive

The HO Kato GE P42 "Genesis" Amtrak Phase I locomotive is a modern marvel of engineering and craftsmanship. This 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive, also known as the “Genesis,” has revolutionized train travel across the United States and Canada. With its sleek design and advanced features, this locomotive has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and is now a staple on tracks throughout the country. The P42 has undergone several physical revisions to enhance maintenance and part replacement, including a bolt-on fiberglass nose panel and a new, more rounded headlight bezel.

Accurate Detail and Superior Performance

This HO scale model is a testament to precision and attention to detail. We have collaborated directly with Amtrak to ensure that the colors and details of our HO P42 are as crisp and accurate as possible, just like a model fresh from Amtrak’s paint shop. The model features illuminated pre-printed number boards and is equipped with directional headlights and tail lights on both the front and rear, allowing for double heading capability and push-pull operation. With the ability to navigate minimum 370mm (14 3/5″) radius curves, the P42 can now access spaces previously reserved exclusively for N scale, making it a versatile addition to any model train collection.

Enhanced Running and Pulling Power

The HO Kato GE P42 "Genesis" Amtrak Phase I locomotive is not just a visual delight; it is also a powerhouse. The brand new coreless truck-motor drive, paired with a super-heavy solid metal body mechanism, doubles the number of motors and significantly increases traction potential and weight. This results in a new standard of running smoothness and pulling power, making the P42 perfect for pulling Kato’s new production of Phase IVb Superliners. Whether you are a seasoned model train enthusiast or just starting out, the HO Kato GE P42 "Genesis" Amtrak Phase I locomotive offers an unparalleled experience in model railroading. Its superior performance and attention to detail make it an essential addition to any train enthusiast's collection.
