Description
This set replicates the F40PH-powered Amfleet trains that were the first step in Amtrak’s revival of the U.S. passenger train. Its Proto-Sound 3.0-equipped diesel features Proto-Speed control for smooth, steady speeds from a crawl to full throttle; remote-controlled Proto-Couplers; and LED lighting.
