I’m glad. I wanted to let everyone see how awesome this thing was. I had a few in the past and this is hands down the best p42 on the market, EVER! Thanks for the feedback. Hope you subscribed! Got more videos coming soon. 🤙🏼
My pleasure. Better hurry up before they sell out or prices go up. Once word gets out how good they’re it’ll be hard to come by. Try eBay. That’s where I got mine. Good luck! Won’t regret it.
I picked up two of these today. I have only recently gotten into DCC But it is fun, especially when those ditch lights get to alternating. One heritage 4, one shamu as delivered. Wish the phase 3 was available.
That’s awesome! DCC is the way to go. I picked up a few more myself which you’ll see on my channel in the near future all appropriately weathered up. I wish they made the Heritage phase 3 as well. That’s my favorite of them all.
The way you unpacked your P42 Genesis locomotive was pretty risky. If that locomotive had fallen. That’s $200+ dollars you would have thrown away. Use care when you unpack your beautiful hobby.
I love the Phase 5 scheme. Looking forward to Phase 6 too. They’re all good and it comes down to what stands out to you. I have a video up of the Phase 5 scheme on my channel. Check it out if you haven’t already.
@@lipsnortheasttrains9128 I checked your video of Phase 5 scheme only today. Excellent capture. The locomotives are phenomenal. Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice! Good choice! LOL! I’d start by getting the locomotive or “train set” you like the most. Then decide what type of layout you want to build. It doesn’t have to be complicated with a bunch of switches. You just need to decide what you like the most about this hobby. For example, I enjoy running trains instead of worrying about operations. I like to model what I see. I also like realistic (prototype) looking trains and scenery. If you do too, then you can set that as a goal and work towards it. I also enjoy videography hence my videos. I like to make the videos to look somewhat realistic. You’ll learn a lot along your journey.
Great video and nothing against you but im am actually a little pissed off they did what kato did and made it a double window the p42 was a single window and also had the strobes on top this is the newest look
If I’m not mistaken, I believe you’re describing the p40 which was the “as delivered” variation. When Amtrak upgrade the p40 to p42 (4000HP to 4200HP), they did away with the strobes and single windshield. At least that’s what I read online. Also, the p40 has the faded affect on the stripes towards the rear. A quick google image search of each will show the difference.
@@jassemalzahrani4502 Yes, It was upgraded while still in phase 3 so which ever model you get (p40 or p42) in phase 3 would be correct. I personally like the strobe and would have gotten one if I could.

Excellent! Looks and sound great! Great addition to your fleet. Very nice video.
Nice video! I think you are the first person to post a video of the New P42 running

Ya know that’s the train they used in the burning train scene in war of worlds
WHOA!! The New! Amtrak P42DC Phase 3! 1:19
Just plain beautiful!!
Thanks for the review! I'm definitely considering getting one in either phase 5 or one of the heritage schemes. They look great!

Thank you for showing us your model Amtrak p42dc genesis I’m going to order a phase 5 variant this Friday from my hobby shop!
My pleasure. You won’t regret it. I’ll post the phase 5 today. Just arrived in the mail so subscribe if you haven’t and stay tuned.
Good video great testing & run of The Genesis P 42 Engines.👋👋
Thank you! Hope you subscribed
I had NO idea that they had announced and released a Genesis version of the P42! I just HATE how limited each run is!
In my opinion, it has to be the best one ever made besides a brass Version. Totally worth it. It’s pretty heavy too.
I’m hoping they redo the P40 phase 3 with the faded stripes
remember when people thought P42s were ugly? they sure must feel crazy seeing the chargers coming along.
Haha! Right!?
Nobody's gonna warm up to those chargers damn they're ugly.
@@maxrshelltrack7443 exactly.
Sir Lips Trains. What you said was so funny, I busted out laughing 😀😀😀😀
😂😂😂
whats the best way to mount the catenary poles on foam board

So true Joseph. However, I like to live my life on the edge, LOL!
I am getting this engine soon.
I picked it up yesterday, but I am traveling, so it will be a little while before I get it back to the railroad.
Does it still have the HEP function? I have the F40PH’s from Rapido that won’t move unless you their startup.
Yes. It’s a feature you can turn on or off.
Excellent video. How do you rate the Phase V scheme?

Ooou nice! Also I'm trying to model the nec in ho scale, do you have any suggestions? Any would be grateful because I'm not sure where to start lol

@@odielodie perfect! Also, watch a lot of tutorials. That’s how I learned. Good luck! Hit me up if you have any questions. I’ll try to help.
@@lipsnortheasttrains9128 ah thanks!
I had one 1996 no sounds

@@lipsnortheasttrains9128 im pretty sure your right but the phase 3 was never in the p42 was it?
