Williams AMTRAK Genesis P42 from EBAY for O Gauge / Scale Layouts with Lionel, MTH & K-Line

It's becoming less common, but every now and then, you can still find bargains on EBAY. I stumbled across an ad for a Williams AMTRAK Genesis one day and acted quickly to use the "Make Offer" button. To my surprise, my offer was accepted. And now I present to you, in all it's O Scale glory, a pretty nice example of a Williams model from 20 years ago. Enjoy.

It took a while for the looks of those Genesis model to grow on me. But now I like them too.

Thanks James. I've been trying to learn German since high school but it just never sinks in. But I do know, "Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!" (Google Translate helps me out too) Have a great week. Bob

@@bobsworkshop5181 Same here Bob. I worked with an Army son. He tried to teach me....but it was difficult. My last name is German (Dads side)....it's pronounced differently in Germany. I get a kick out of trying but cheat a lot. Thanks for the interest and for having a good sense of humor about it. Happy Holidays to you and your family 🎄

Hey! I have a set of those, a powered and a dummy. There sure is something neat about older Williams models, especially considering how reliable they are. Great buy!

You don’t need to sell me on the benefits of Williams engines my brother. I’m already one of the converted. Merry Christmas! Bob

[@chicagolandrailroader]

Oh you lucky guy. Wish my P42 was that cheap.

[@bobsworkshop5181]

My luck got even better a few days ago at a local train show. I’ll do a video on it this week. Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah too!

Thanks for checking it out. Merry Christmas! Bob

I think Williams had the chance to make a comeback now with the sky high prices.

[@bobsworkshop5181]

I haven’t bought many new trains in a long time. I’m pretty hooked on train shows/swap meets. I like the older things anyway and I love the deals/prices. Happy New Year! Bob
