The Prototype
|
 |
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.
To support passenger service, the F40PH is equipped with a secondary electrical generator referred to as the head end generator (or HEP, for Head End Power). The need for constant constant frequency power means that these HEP units are constantly running at 900rpm, resulting in the nickname "Screamers" for the units due to the sound.

Chicago Metra EMD F40PH - Three road numbers
The follow up to the Chicago Metra MP36PH is finally here! Hotly demanded, and still in use to this day, the Chicago Metra F40PH will allow commuter rail modelers to portray the full range of Metra equipment by combining the new-tooling N Scale F40PH (with ditch lights and prototype accurate RV style air conditioners) with Kato USA’s releases of individual Metra Bi-level Coaches, MP36PH locomotives, and 3-Car bookcase style sets (which are designed to be adaptable to hold additional cars and locomotives!)

Fourth Release
|
Now modelers can enjoy modeling Amtrak trains from the early 90’s such as the Missouri River Runner, which operates between St. Louis and Kansas City, or the Hiawatha that operates between Chicago and Milwaukee!
This new production of EMD F40PH Phase III units fits these Amtrak locomotives with ditch lights and cab air conditioners – additions that came late in the F40PH’s service lifetime with Amtrak. This allows modelers to recapture their memories of Amtrak’s recent history while enjoying its iconic Phase III appearance along with matching Superliner or Amfleet II cars. Amfleet II cars are now available in Phase III paint for the first time!

Third Release
|
|
By popular demand, Kato USA is expanding its line of commuter rail items with a brand new tooling version of the N scale EMD F40PH locomotive!
This release features brand new body shell tooling to represent the modern commuter version of this locomotive, such as over-the-cab air conditioner and illuminated ditch lights. The locomotive mechanism carries over the DCC friendly design of the Amtrak version, and the locomotive is perfectly suited for being combined with the newly releasing Nippon Sharyo Gallery Bi-Level Car three-packs with bookcase style carry case!

First Release (2005)
|
|
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 versions we have selected for
this production represent locomotives equipped with
radiator "Q-Fans" - a version never before offered.
Model Features:
-
Equipped with Kato automatic magnetic
couplers
- DCC-friendly mechanism
- Shock-absorber construction
- Golden-white LED directional headlight
- Illuminated numberboards
- Seprate beacon ad cab warning lamp detail for modeler
customizing
- All-wheel electrical pickup and traditional KATO motor
with dual brass flywheels

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
