How to kitbash an as-delivered VIA F40PH-2 using either Kato or Walthers model in HO.
by Manny Jacob

Getting started

Download our parts list (PDF format). Then start work by completely disassembling the entire locomotive and reducing it to a box of parts. You can set aside the model storage box as you won't need it until you are finished the project. File off the light receptacle from the speaker cup. Cut off the corner marker lights from all window pieces as they are not correct for VIA. The holes in the shell that currently accept them will later be filled in.
