PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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.
Features
- Powerful five-pole motor with dual flywheels, all-wheel electrical pickup, and blackened wheels for smooth, reliable running.
- Heavy die-cast metal chassis with shock-absorber construction for prototypical motion.
- Directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated, preprinted number boards.
- DCC-ready — the lighting board swaps out for a decoder; drop-in compatible with the TCS K0D8-C (decoder sold separately).
- Body-mounted Kato magnetic knuckle couplers, plus an alternate snow-plow piece included for tight-radius operation.
- Authentic Amtrak Phase III paint and lettering on the as-built (no ditch lights) F40PH body.
- Scale: N (1:160)

Squeaky’s Trains & Things LLC was founded in December of 2019. It was started by our family that has been in love with everything, trains large and small, driven by creativity since we were born. We grew up playing with model trains and watching, learning about and studying different aspects of magnificent locomotives on a daily basis and today we still do.
It also has helped us get through rough times while dealing with being diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Trains and creativity have always helped calm our daily lives while also becoming self-taught on making designs and artwork.
With this our family activity that grew into a really big hobby! We realized local train stores were barely available and we also wanted to start offering other model railroading fans our self-made creations for their enjoyment. We want to help the community around us by providing model railroad supplies and continue the legend of the greatest hobby on earth, model trains and railroading!
