Description

This is Kato 37-6101 HO P42 Amtrak PhVb #68. GE P42 ”Genesis” Amtrak Phase Vb #68. The General Electic P42 locomotive is also known as the ”Genesis” locomotive. The P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada. Amtrak’s P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and today they are used throughout the United States. Since their introduction, they have had a number of physical revisions to improve the ease of maintenance and parts replacements, including a bolt-on fiberglass nose panel (replacing the original’s solid metal which was difficult to repair or replace) and a new headlight bezel that is more rounded than the previous square versions.

Its key features are:
Directional headlights and tail lights on both the front and rear of the locomotive, allowing it to operate as both a standard pulling locomotive with double heading capability or a push-pull engine, whether oriented facing forward or back
Illuminated pre-printed numberboards
Capable of navigating minimum 370mm (14 3/5”) radius curves (R1 radius in Europe), allowing the P42 to go where previous Kato locomotives have never been able to go before – dining room tables, coffee tables, spaces previously reserved exclusively for N scale!
Brand new coreless truck-motor drive paired with a super-heavy solid metal body mechanism; doubling the number of motors while increasing the traction potential and weight for new standard of running smoothness and pulling power
