Barely-employed Brakeman
Been working on a VIA F40PH-2 over the holidays. Man, they are a BIG job! You wouldn't think to look at them, but there are subtle mods that differ from the Amtrak units that can't be faked, like...
- The engine access door is moved back one panel
- The airbrake access doors (under the cab) is 2/3 the size of the Amtrak vers.
- The horn notch is filled
- The fueltank cluster is totally different
- roof changes in the exhaust, dyn brake fan and cooling fans...
A lot of work...why do I bother...
