It is decorated for Amtrak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFactory-equipped with DCC and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecreate the early years of Amtrak's GE Genesis fleet with the Athearn Genesis HO Scale GE P42DC Amtrak Phase III #23 – DCC\/Sound – ATHG-1687. This highly detailed Genesis model represents Amtrak AMTK #23 in its as-delivered Phase III paint scheme, complete with road-number-specific details and factory-installed SoundTraxx Tsunami2 DCC and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GE P42DC became one of the most recognizable locomotives in Amtrak's nationwide passenger fleet. Introduced as the successor to the P40DC, the P42DC was rated at 4,250 horsepower with a top speed of 100 mph. Amtrak took delivery of more than 200 units, placing the Genesis locomotives into service on short- and long-distance passenger trains throughout the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthearn recreates Amtrak #23 in its as-delivered Phase III appearance with the as-built nose configuration, a 5-chime forward-facing horn, road-number-specific antenna arrangement, and front and rear marker lights. The model also features a detailed cab interior with appropriate controls and seats, newly tooled illuminated number boards, flexible rubber MU and trainline hoses, separately applied wire handrails, an exhaust stack, photo-etched metal radiator fan grille, and extensive underframe detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locomotive comes factory equipped with an onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 DCC\/Sound decoder and dual round speakers. It operates on both DC and DCC layouts, with engine, horn, and bell sounds available during DC operation and full sound, lighting, and control functions available in DCC mode. The ditch lights alternate when the horn is activated in DCC, while the front and rear marker lights are independently controlled and directional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAthearn Genesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGE P42DC Passenger Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmtrak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReporting Mark: AMTK #23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-delivered Amtrak Phase III paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-built nose configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-chime forward-facing horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad-number-specific antenna arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmtrak-approved artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-equipped DCC\/Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual round speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on both DC and DCC layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds operate on DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMRA-compatible DCC functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow-speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable Configuration Values (CVs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU lashup capability with lead-unit-only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating front and rear marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarker lights independently controlled and directional in DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED headlights, ditch lights, and red marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDitch lights alternate when horn is activated in DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled illuminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior with controls and seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched metal radiator fan grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks with air lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed air filter and air dryer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKrupp-MaK trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis 5-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined flywheels and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP25 wheel contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely redesigned die-cast frame for superior tractive effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed Amtrak product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1991–2009 and 2010–Present Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled and ready to run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius: 18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Radius: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis-diesel-locomotives\"\u003eAthearn Genesis diesel locomotives\u003c\/a\u003e, explore the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis\"\u003eAthearn Genesis collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-railroading\"\u003eModel Railroading\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer \/ Brand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Athearn Genesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad \/ Reporting Marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amtrak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e P42DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e ATHG-1687\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Number(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl \/ Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e DCC \u0026amp;
