VIA’s F40PH-2D has been the face of passenger train travel in Canada since the 1980s and while there have been a number of inaccurate F40 models painted in VIA colours, there has never been an accurate N scale model of this 3000-horsepower Canadian workhorse. Until now.
The F40PH-2D was built in London, Ontario between 1986 and 1989. It features a desktop control stand (hence the “D” in the designation); a unique fuel tank and underframe arrangement; a unique carbody design with custom panel and door locations; and numerous other Canadian-only details.
The Rapido Trains N scale VIA Rail F40PH-2D features:
- Scaled from original blueprints and field measurements
- Unique Canadian F40PH-2D body and details
- Working headlights, ditch lights, number boards
- Separate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory
- Incredible underbody detail including separate piping
- Different rooftop details for different paint schemes
- Accurate F40PH-2D sounds on sound-equipped models
- Available in original scheme (1986-1998) and Canada scheme (1998-2014);
