Bring the golden age of Amtrak passenger railroading to your N scale layout with the Kato EMD F40PH, decorated for Amtrak #350 in the classic Phase III scheme. This as-built version captures the original nose profile without ditch lights, and like every Kato diesel it pairs a smooth, powerful drive with crisp factory decoration. It runs on standard DC right out of the box and is DCC-ready — just drop in a decoder when you are ready to go digital.

Is this locomotive DCC equipped?

What era and trains does it fit?
The F40PH powered Amtrak passenger trains from the late 1970s onward; the Phase III silver, red, white & blue scheme is perfect for modern Amtrak passenger consists.
What couplers does it use?
Body-mounted Kato magnetic knuckle couplers, and an alternate snow-plow piece is included for tight-radius layouts.
