Here’s a tribute to my old F40PH. My DCC controller is off to the manufacturer for warranty work, so I switched the power district back to DC and gave the old gal a run. Poor thing is showing her age but keeps running - like her Amtrak namesakes did. Here’s to the F40!
BTW, this loco is a Bachmann shell on a modified Athearn blue box GP38 chassis. I added diode constant lighting, separate grabs and railings, and painted it for my commuter agency. It bears the name of my late father in law, a lifelong LIRR employee.
