Prototype Information:
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.
Much work is put into all our models to ensure the colors are crisp and accurate. Naturally, our HO P42 is no exception as we worked directly with Amtrak to ensure you get a model that looks like it came right out of Amtrak’s paint shop. What’s more is that even up close our paint and details maintain their accuracy.
