OverviewBy the late 1980's, Amtrak was searching for a replacement for its outdated and aging fleet of F40PH and GP-40s. Weary of getting more locomotives that were really designed for freight operation, Amtrak searched for a new, lightweight, high-tech alternative. General Electric provided Amtrak with an answer with its unveiling of the "Genesis." Featuring a monocoque frame, advanced electronics, and special environmental and safety features, the Genesis represents the state-of-the-art in U.S. passenger service. While GE officially designated these engines as model AMD-103 (for Amtrak Diesel-103 mph), they are popularly called the Genesis engine because they represent an entirely new stage in passenger locomotive technology. Forty-four of these 4,000 hp engines, numbered 800-843, were delivered between April and December 1993. The M.T.H. Premier Line Genesis is as state-of-the-art as the original. Our scale reproduction of the Genesis prototype brings you everything you have come to expect from M.T.H. diesels, including the standard features listed.
