Kato HO Scale F40PH Operation North Pole 2016 Christmas Train Locomotives

Celebrate one of Chicago railroading's most distinctive holiday traditions with the Kato HO Scale F40PH Operation North Pole 2016 Christmas Train collection at Fusion Scale Hobbies. These highly detailed HO Scale models recreate the colorful Metra EMD F40PH #133 associated with the 2016 Operation North Pole Christmas Train, combining an eye-catching holiday appearance with Kato's proven locomotive performance. Choose from DC, DCC, and DCC/Sound versions to match your model railroad's control system and operating preferences.

Operation North Pole works with Chicago-area children's hospitals to create a memorable holiday experience for families with children facing life-threatening illnesses. Each year, a specially decorated Metra train is transformed with festive graphics for the Operation North Pole event. The 2016 train operated over Metra's Union Pacific Northwest Line, making this distinctive F40PH an especially interesting prototype for collectors of Chicago Metra models, commuter locomotives, EMD F40PH locomotives, Christmas trains, and modern passenger equipment.

Kato HO Scale Metra F40PH Detail and Performance

The Kato HO Scale EMD F40PH is designed for smooth, reliable operation while incorporating details appropriate to the Metra prototype. Features include a powerful five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels, all-wheel electrical pickup from scale 42-inch blackened metal wheels, directional headlights, illuminated pre-printed numberboards, and railroad-specific details such as ditch lights, cab air conditioners, fan configuration, headlight arrangement, pilot, rear platform, and cab roof details.

The F40PH is a natural choice for passenger and commuter layouts and pairs especially well with compatible bi-level commuter equipment. Modelers looking to expand beyond the Operation North Pole locomotive can browse our complete selection of Kato HO Scale Trains, explore additional models from Kato, or shop the wider Model Trains selection at Fusion Scale Hobbies.

DC, DCC and DCC/Sound Operation North Pole F40PH Models

This collection brings the available operating configurations of the Kato HO Scale Operation North Pole 2016 F40PH together in one place. The DC version is ideal for conventional analog layouts and provides a platform for modelers who prefer to select their own decoder installation. The DCC version provides digital command control without sound, while the DCC/Sound version combines digital control with locomotive sound for a more immersive operating experience.

For additional command-control components and electronics, browse our selection of ESU DCC Decoders & Electronics and SoundTraxx In-Stock Products. These collections are provided as resources for modelers shopping for DCC and sound equipment and do not indicate the decoder brand installed in a particular factory-equipped Kato locomotive.

A Unique HO Scale Christmas Train Locomotive

The bold Operation North Pole graphics make the 2016 Metra F40PH a standout addition to an HO Scale passenger railroad, Chicago-area commuter layout, holiday train display, or locomotive collection. Unlike a generic Christmas-themed locomotive, the Operation North Pole F40PH represents a real prototype connected to an annual charitable train, giving the model a distinctive place in both railroad and holiday history.
