The lineup includes old favorites (Phase I and Dash 8 Phase III), a present day (Phase V) and two new designs (Midnight Blue and Phase VI). Athearn is working closely with Amtrak to authentically replicate each of these special liveries that will be operating across their system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe General Electric P42DC, also known as the Genesis, is the current primary passenger locomotive of Amtrak. Producing 4250 HP and with a top speed of 110mph, these units are seen nationwide on short and long-distance trains. Equipped with marker lights on each end, the units are also seen in service on push-pull trains. Amtrak originally rostered 208 of the units, numbered from 1-207. Most notable among these are Amtrak’s specially-painted Heritage units painted in 2011 for Amtrak’s 40th anniversary, and the new round of commemorative units being released for the 50th Anniversary this year. Each one is painted in a different “phase” or paint scheme to highlight the different images of Amtrak over the years, as well as new concepts like the Midnight Blue livery designed to honor employees working throughout the night to keep passengers moving across the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia Rail owns a fleet of 21 units numbered 900-920, and they have been active since 2001. These locomotives are equipped with both standard and emergency horn sets. Some units also are equipped with a bright spotlight on the center of the nose, in addition to the standard headlights and ditch lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights include a detailed cab interior complete with all of the appropriate controls and seats. A wealth of underbody detail includes piping, air filters, air dryer, and complete pilot detail. The models also feature prototype-specific details for Amtrak and Via Rail Canada. Amtrak units are available with either the as-built or the rebuilt (bolted-on) nose. They also feature several different styles of antenna arrays, ranging from the simple as-built appearance to the complex arrangement of the Illinois service units. Via Rail units feature the unique nose-mounted spotlight as well as prototypical standard and emergency horn sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll versions feature the operational, light, and sound features that have come to be expected from Genesis. Under the hood, the proven Genesis motor and a massive die-case frame combine to provide ample tractive effort. LED headlights, ditch lights, and marker lights are all provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed product of Amtrak® (Amtrak-painted units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 different nose variations: Amtrak as-built, Amtrak rebuilt, and Via\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\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 including air tanks with air lines, air filter, and air dryer with two different types of rock shields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting including operating ditch lights and red marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely-redesigned die-cast frame for superior tractive effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53394972049621,"sku":"ATHG81108","price":145.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/athearn-genesis-g81108-ho-scale-p42-diesel-amtrak-phase-iv-heritage-184.png?v=1774283113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g81108-ho-scale-p42-diesel-amtrak-phase-iv-heritage-184","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
