GE P42 Amtrak 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.
Kato will produce three road numbers in the Phase III
scheme and two in Phase IV because most trains
operate with two or three locomotives. Additionally, it
is common
practice
for Amtrak to mix Phase III and Phase IV paint scheme locomotives
when building a train for its journey.

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”
