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 the five specially-painted Heritage units, which were unveiled in 2011 for Amtrak’s 40th anniversary. Each one is painted in a different “phase” or paint scheme to highlight the different images of Amtrak over the years. Sadly #66, the Phase II unit, was involved in a grade crossing accident in 2016 and was subsequently retired. In 2018, Amtrak released #130 in a similar scheme, and today it carries on the legacy of #66.\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\u003eThese highly-detailed models will finally answer one of our top customer requests for a Genesis Genesis. Highlights 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. On the DCC\/sound equipped versions, the ditch lights will alternate when the horn is activated, and the marker lights are independently-controlled and directional. Finally, A Soundtraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder and dual 28mm speakers provide our model with high-quality sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled nose for VIA specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate air dryer per VIA prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed product of Amtrak® (Amtrak-painted units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed product of Via Rail Canada® (Via painted units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 different nose variations: Amtrak as-built, Amtrak rebuilt, and Via\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\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\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\u003eSOUND EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lightsMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with dual 28mm round speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43002602717397,"sku":"ATHG81313","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-g81313-ho-scale-p42-diesel-via-917-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1651325061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g81313-ho-scale-p42-diesel-via-917-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
