## 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: #160 wears a phase III paint scheme that was used specifically on Amtrak’s “Dash 8” locomotives along with the anniversary logo. Each locomotive is designed to uniquely honor Amtrak’s heritage and their vision of connecting communities, economies, and families nationwide.

Review: Powerhouse of an engine - An amazing engine. Detail is incredible, and it easily pulls my 6 Amtrak cars safely. I ❤️ Kato Size is about 50 percent larger than the Bachman Super Chief.
Review: Awesome Amtrak Locomotive!!! - This got to be one of my favorite P42 locomotives. The grey paint scheme is awesome and stands out. I used the locomotive to haul four Amfleet I coaches and one Amfleet I cafe car. To those who love Amtrak, you gotta to have this in your collection. Kato trains are the best!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Could pull a real train
*by R***K on December 6, 2025*

Powerful. Heavy. Could probably pull a real train. The bogeys are tight, so the wheels stay put & don’t wear. Excellent motor, balanced perfectly. This is one of my best engines, and rightfully so.
