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, including the Chicago Metra. Over 400 F40PH locomotives have been manufactured by EMD in various configurations.

Model Features:

• Perfectly suited to pull Kato’s Superliners or Bi-Level commuter cars
• Directional headlights
• DCC and Sound friendly with 8 pin plug and 1.1″ (28mm) speaker opening**
• Illuminated pre-printed numberboards
• Powerful five pole motor with dual brass flywheels
• All wheel electrical pickup from scale 42″ blackened metal wheels
• Detail specific to each railroad, including ditch lights, cab air conditioners, fan height, headlight arrangement, pilot, rear platform, and cab roof arrangement

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
