DCC AND SOUND EQUIPPED
As the F40PH fleet aged, Amtrak gave many a new lease on life as cab control units for push-pull service trains. Officially known as "NPCU" or Non-Powered Cab Units, the combination cab+baggage compartments quickly gave them a more popular nickname, the "Cabbage." Whatever you call them, these units provide a safe operating platform for train crews when the locomotive is pushing on the other end of the train as well as additional baggage storage for passengers. Lionel's NPCU's are a perfect pair to your powered F40PH. Like the prototype, these aren't powered, but have all of the other bells and whistles you want in a Legacy locomotive. When used in conjunction at either end of the train, you'll get realistic sound and lighting functions in either direction.
