Description
Pre-Order Due Date: October 15, 2024
Most manufacturers give a Pre Order ETA which can be seen near the 'add to cart' button. They also give a due date which is indicative of when the product is expected to go into production.
There is a 5% NON-refundable deposit for preorders, this amount will be deducted from the price of the product when it arrives. You will see how much downpayment is required after adding the item to your cart.
For any pre-order submitted after the due date, we will try our best to fulfill your order, but are at the mercy of the manufacturer and if they produce more than were preordered by their dealers.
Pre-Orders will show a 0 shipping cost now, and shipping will be included on your invoice at time of product arrival.

Ready to fall in love with an F40? Despite being responsible for sidelining the fan favorite ex-BN E9s, the F40PHM-2s have created a similarly iconic look for themselves hauling commuters in the Windy City for the past 30 years. Nicknamed “Winnebagos” for their similar appearance to the venerable recreational vehicle, these were the last 30 F40PHs that Metra ordered new, in 1991. Towards the end of 2016, the first F40PHM-2s were sent out to Progress Rail for rebuilding and application of the new faded scheme that was already applied to the MP36s and older 100-series F40PHs. Of the 30 locos, only one has been retired on account of a wreck off-line.
The Rapido Trains HO scale F40PHM-2 locomotive features:
- Correct “Winnebago” style front
- Dual rooftop air conditioners
- Working head lights, marker lights and backup light
- Working Gyralite
- Stratolite or strobe light where appropriate

- Separate, factory-applied wire grab irons
- PTC Antenna Array where appropriate
- Full cab interior
- Accurate fuel tank profile and exhaust silencer
- Correct pilot plow or snow plow per model
- Sound-equipped models feature a custom ESU LokSound V5 decoder
