NEW MTH Genesis Wave coming!

I will be on the fence with this one. I had seen them every day at DC union station.  Their condition as seen at the station was hhhmmm, lets see I need a good word to describe them, what comes to mind Ah ha! they were at best considered to be in a DEPLORABLE condition!  dirty,  banged up,  smoking up the place, rusty faded paint. all  in a smelly rumble waiting on the ready track. , there is a line of them in the repair tracks. They need two to run a train, one is a backup.

They are a dang ugly engine, there for I will most likely buy one. 

That'll be cool! I'd like won.

I am thinking about buying the Amtrak Genesis engine as well and I am wondering if there will be more Amtrak locomotives in there as well. Maybe the ASC-64 electric?

I don't really do Amtrak, but if they offer one with scale wheels, I'm in. Amtrak does run them singly for some commuter runs.

Scaled wheel version for me....... two Genesis, if one is the Veterans paint

I pre-ordered the F40PH from MTH from the last catalog. I found another older 2 rail DC model of the same. I have a Genesis that's 3/2 also. That still needs the pilots fixed like Jeff Sohn did.

 There was a release of the Genesis in a couple catalogs back. I think it was painted for Amtrak's birthday paint scheme? I missed it and will always regret that. I mean, how many diesels can I have???

I ordered the Lionel Legacy Amtrak F40PH, hopefully it'll be in soon.  I already have an older Premier Genesis, so I'd be more interested in a different Amtrak locomotive type.  The previously mentioned ASC-64 would be cool...

I like the idea of Lionel's cab and cabbage F40PH units. I wish they were set up for my 2 rail layout. I am adding a three rail loop just for stuff like this. Good thing MTH released the F40PH in 2 rail so my wallet is empty! ( I did order the Lionel cars)

PS. the one I missed was the Amtrak F40PH celebration loco from 2012 in this scheme:

Joey at Nicholas smith is pushing MTH hard to build them a dealer exclusive ACS64 Sprinter in all the schemes he's talking about 1000 loco order

Hmmm, any 2 rail?

.  Great news

I'll take a scale wheels Genesis.  They run a single unit every day on the regional from Lynchburg to DC.  The Crescent has two units on it daily.  Notice the Crescent has two different diesels, new viewliner baggage, amfleet coaches, viewliner sleepers and heritage diner.  Paint one 145 classic paint.   I saw it in Lynchburg in pristine condition earlier this summer. 

Lynchburg, VA

I like to buy that one.

I'd like to see the Next Generation Amtrak Train in 2Rail and 3Rail ...............Sweet!

Joe, 

Agreed.  Besides a scale wheeled version for the P42's in the Phase V or Vb scheme would be nice to get more of the heritage units especially the #42 the veterans unit.

I am almost positive that you will get your chance to buy the Veterans P42 Genesis.

Very cool color schemes..................

Thanks for the offer GN Man. I have them now and I'm broke anyways.

This is on the table at the Indy show today......

OMI Unit there, how much?

Matt that would be awesome!

I'm curious why there isn't more interest in the older, just retired North East Corridor Engines.
