MTH Amtrak Genesis Phase V update

Good job!  Did they mention the other road number for 20-20759-1?

Please tell us if they said anything about the RailKing version.

Thanks, Joe B.

Thanks! This started with an in person chat with Andy at Trainfest and several others who brought this to his attention. 

I ordered both locos and the woman on the phone said that both had been updated. It I did not get the other number as she assured me the changes were made.

Sorry Joe I just asked about the Premier versions. 

Let me also say thank you!

Sometimes they get things mixed up.

I believe the G scale CN engines are also. I can't get any reply. Maybe they aren't getting as much attention?

I just got off the phone with MTH where I got confirmation that the numbers on the forthcoming locos will be updated to match the appropriate class of P42DC engines. 20-20758-1 will now be numbered 202. 

Confirmed!!!  I just received my 2017 v1 Genesis 20-20758-1 from Mr. Muffin and the number is in fact "202" as MTH told you.  Again, great job in pushing for changing the number to match the appropriate class.

Cheers,  Bryan

I received my MTH Premier 20-20758-1 AMTRAK Genesis locomotive #202 today. No manufacturing defects and correct operation under conventional AC. Great horn, bell and engine sounds.

Awesome!!! Glad you guys are just as happy as I am that we got the numbers done right. I just picked up my two today. Here are some shots of 202. 

20-20759-1 is number 99

It's super realistic. Love it.

Does this engine work with Lionel Legacy 990?
