EMD F40PH

Prototype Information:

The EMD F40PH is synonymous with the Amtrak era of American passenger trains. Although it has been retired from Amtrak service, it operated for over 20 years. It continues to be the motive power for commuter railroads all over the United States. Over 400 F40PH locomotives have been manufactured by EMD in various configurations.

Model Information:

The F40PH went through some external changes during its production life and each railroad tended to order a custom package of headlights, horns, and other equipment that modelers call "details". Even Amtrak's several orders had multiple detail variations. The version we have selected for this production represents locomotives equipped with radiator "Q-Fans" - a version never before offered.

Model Features:

  • All locomotives are equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
  • Locomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards
  • Locomotives are equipped with shock absorber construction for smooth and prototypical motion on the track
  • Locomotives have a powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels
  • Additional alternate snow plow piece included for tight radius operation
  • Locomotives are DCC friendly
  • Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K0D
