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.

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

The Bi-Level "Gallery" commuter car continues to be a favorite design of many commuter rail agencies throughout the United States and Canada. The design made its debut on the Chicago & North Western railroad for their Chicago area commuter service in the 1950s.

All of our Bi-Level gallery cars feature prototypical interiors and the distinctive green-tinted windows. The Cab/Coach models are equipped with Golden White LED directional head/taillights which can be switched on and off for operation mid-train.

Kinematic Knuckle Couplers are included to model close coupling in dynamic push/pull operation. The couplers are easily installed with a phillips screwdriver and are a unique feature to our Bi-Level passenger cars. The Kinematic Knuckle couplers expand and contract as the cars move about your layout, which keeps the cars close together on straights and at a working distance around curves.

FEATURES:

  • Perfectly suited to be pulled by Kato's EMD F40PH locomotives
  • Kinematic Knuckle Couplers and Shock Absorber construction for realistic movement
  • Interior detailing that can be enjoyed with our HO interior lighting kits (7-503).
  • Prototypical green tinted windows
  • Cab-Coaches are equipped with headlights lights which can be switched on and off
