P42 Genesis
Background Information:
The Amtrak P42 locomotive was pre-dated by the P40, which
was originally known as the AMD-103, or "Genesis"
locomotive. "Genesis locomotive" collectively
refers to the P40, P42, and P32. (The P32 is a third-rail
capable locomotive that operates only in the Northeast).
The P40 was originally delivered in 1993 with the first
order of P42's following in late 1996 and early 1997. The
P40 is a 4000 horsepower locomotive, while the P42 is a
4200 horsepower locomotive.
External
details on the P40 and P42 are very similar with the P42
lacking the warning lights and hostler window of the P40.
With Amtrak realizing  that the warning lights flashed back
into the cab, and the hostler window was not necessary,
the P40s were modified so that they are virtual carbon-copies
of the more numerous P42. Amtrak rosters a total of 44 P40
locomotive and a whopping 207 P42 locomotives. Kato has
chosen to produce the P42 locomotive based on the large
numbers of P42's that have been produced, coupled with the
fact that Amtrak is rebuilding their P40's to resemble P42's.
Amtrak's
P42 and P40 locomotives have virtually replaced the EMD
F40PH, once the mainline passenger locomotive of choice.
Recent rosters show only 6 F40PH's in active Amtrak service,
although additional F40PH's are occasionally called upon
in emergencies. |
Model
Features:
-
All models are equipped with Kato's five-pole motor with
dual brass flywheels
-
Factory
equipped with Kato's fully-automatic knuckle coupler.
- Front
and rear Bright White LED Headlights will be equipped with
a "flicker free" circuit. This built-in capacitor
will eliminate the flickering light effects of "back
EMF," often caused when the electrical current to the
model is temporarily interrupted. This usually happens when
crossing over a turnout and the model "thinks"
it is about to reverse direction.
- "DCC
Friendly" for easy drop-in installation of digital
decoder.
- Highly-detailed
printing with warning labels and builder plates.
- MRC
has also crafted a drop-in sound decoder that will
work with the N scale GE P42 “Genesis”

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
