Built in London, Ontario between 1986 and 1989, these Canadian-spec F40s included a desktop control stand (hence the \"D\" designation), a unique fuel tank and underframe, and a custom carbody with Canadian-only panel and door locations. In 2010, VIA contracted CAD Railway Industries in Lachine, Quebec to rebuild the entire 52-locomotive fleet — the HEP alternator was pulled and replaced by a separate HEP generator at the rear of the locomotive, and the units were repainted into VIA's green\/grey\/yellow Renaissance scheme. The rebuild program was completed by the end of 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRapido's HO Rebuilt F40PH-2D captures every detail of the rebuilt configuration: the unique post-rebuild body, working headlights, ditch lights, numberboards, radiator fans and grille details with the radiator and cabling visible through the HEP grilles, separately applied factory-installed grab irons and handrails, and incredible underbody detail including separate piping. A working emergency headlight and emergency-shutdown strobe light replicate the prototype's modern safety features. The release includes VIA Rail 6403 in the Canadian $10 bill promotional scheme — and ten lucky buyers of 6403 will receive a crisp uncirculated $10 bill featuring The Canadian on the back. The new \"Love the Way\" wrap is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach locomotive is offered DC\/Silent (DCC ready) or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound with ESU LokSound 5 Micro.
