## Description

The General Electric P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada with Amtrak utilizing it in a majority of their revenue service. 2021 marked Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary, and in celebration Amtrak created five unique paint schemes for its P42 engines: #161 carries the original Amtrak Phase I paint scheme and traditional "Arrow" logo paired with the 50th Anniversary logo. Each locomotive is designed to uniquely honor Amtrak’s heritage and their vision of connecting communities, economies, and families nationwide.

Review: Worth the money - Another best product by KATO. This N scale locomotive is heavy, well detailed, running smoothly & faster on KATO unitracks. I purchased this “Genesis” locomotive & 3 cars of viewliner by KATO AMFLEET. As a train model collector, I love them!
Review: This n scale replica of Amtrak 161 works really good looks like the real engine I got this to remember because in November 26 2024 the engine burned up at Washington and it’s really sad to se phase one or the first phase of Amtrak get burned up. You should get this engine if you 11+ years because it could brake if you drop it or put to much pressure with other train
