Into cowl-body passenger power? The Rapido Trains GMD F40PH-2D Rebuild, in VIA Rail ("Love The Way" wrap) colors, nails the look of these iconic VIA Rail machines.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. This F40PH-2D — built by General Motors Diesel (London, Ontario) for VIA Rail, a four-axle (B-B) 3,000 hp unit with an EMD 16-645E3 prime mover, a full-width cowl carbody and head-end power (HEP) — is reproduced in its rebuilt configuration: overhauled engine, modernized electronics, third headlight and updated livery. A five-pole motor with dual flywheels, a heavy die-cast chassis, directional headlights and a detailed cab interior: it is all here. ESU LokSound V5 sound decoder.
