Narrative:
After lift-off from the runway we got amber caution light and engine cap, it was my leg and I was flying. I took a quick look at instrument gauges and found high itt on right engine and started almost immediately reducing power on right engine trying to control the itt, we ended up having approximately 45% torque at maximum itt, we gave our maintenance department a call and they said bring it back, so we did the checklist as we started back we got a low-oil light and master warning (red) so we immediately decided to shut down the right engine and we did. We came around for an ILS and landed runway 30R in st louis, we declared an emergency. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft was an ATR42 powered with 2 P&west 121A engines. The reporter said maintenance has not reported on the condition of the engine or what internal failure occurred.

Title: AN ATR42 IMMEDIATELY AFTER TKOF DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO THE R ENG HIGH INTERNAL TURBINE TEMP AND LOW OIL PRESSURE.
Narrative: AFTER LIFT-OFF FROM THE RWY WE GOT AMBER CAUTION LIGHT AND ENG CAP, IT WAS MY LEG AND I WAS FLYING. I TOOK A QUICK LOOK AT INST GAUGES AND FOUND HIGH ITT ON R ENG AND STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY REDUCING PWR ON R ENG TRYING TO CTL THE ITT, WE ENDED UP HAVING APPROX 45% TORQUE AT MAX ITT, WE GAVE OUR MAINT DEPT A CALL AND THEY SAID BRING IT BACK, SO WE DID THE CHKLIST AS WE STARTED BACK WE GOT A LOW-OIL LIGHT AND MASTER WARNING (RED) SO WE IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN THE R ENG AND WE DID. WE CAME AROUND FOR AN ILS AND LANDED RWY 30R IN ST LOUIS, WE DECLARED AN EMER. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ACFT WAS AN ATR42 POWERED WITH 2 P&W 121A ENGS.
