Nicknamed “Winnebagos” for their similarappearance to the venerable recreational vehicle, these were the last 30F40PHs that Metra ordered new, in 1991. Towards the end of 2016, the firstF40PHM-2s were sent out to Progress Rail for rebuilding and application ofthe new faded scheme that was already applied to the MP36s and older100-series F40PHs. Of the 30 locos, only one has been retired on account ofa wreck off-line. The F40PHM-2s were delivered with the standard Metra/RTAfeatures: Nathan P5a horn, Dual Gyralite with clear and red targets, ditchlights, dual rooftop air conditioners and Stratolites and pilot plows. Thelocos that returned from rebuild featured a redesigned cab door window,front snowplow, single rooftop APU strobe, PTC antenna arrays and the newfaded scheme. The HO Scale replicas feature appropriate detailing andapplied details for their scheme. The model features dual flywheels andmagnetic knuckle couplers and comes equipped with an ESU LokSound V5 soundand DCC decoder.
