Description
The Rapido 582510 is an N scale EMD F40PH-2D (Rebuilt) in VIA Rail Canada Renaissance scheme — road number #6409 — with Dual-mode DC / DCC / Sound.
Prototype: The EMD F40PH-2D is the Canadian variant of the F40PH passenger locomotive, built by GMD London (the Canadian arm of EMD) for VIA Rail in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 2-D suffix indicates the Canadian-spec configuration: separate HEP generator (instead of prime-mover-driven HEP), revised cab and details, plus prototype-specific safety features. The Rebuilt versions are the late-2010s VIA Rail rebuild program — new diesel engines, refreshed electrical, and updated lighting (including the distinctive emergency-shutdown roof strobe).
