Description
ESU DCC/LOKSOUND EQUIPPED MODEL
The EMD F40PH is a four-axle 3,000 - 3,002 hp (2.2-2.2 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in several variants from 1975 to 1992. Intended for use on Amtrak's short-haul passenger routes, it became the backbone of Amtrak's diesel fleet after the failure of the EMD SDP40F. The F40PH also found widespread use on commuter railroads in the United States and with Via Rail Canada. Additional F40PH variants were remanufactured from older locomotives by Morrison-Knudsen and MotivePower Industries between 1988-1998.
Amtrak retired its fleet of F40PHs in the mid-1990s in favor of the GE Genesis, but the locomotive remains the mainstay of Via Rail's long-distance trains and is a common sight on commuter railroads throughout the United States.
Features:
Equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
Directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards
Equipped with shock absorber construction for smooth and prototypical motion on the track
Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup
Blackened wheels
ESU DC/DCC Dual Mode Decoder with Sound
