I did this FP45 about 10 years ago. I reworked the pilots, added the usual detail parts, see through steps, DA see through fans (I don't think the cannon fans were out yet), and plated over were the steam equipment was.    Eric |

Great looking FP45. The F/FP 45 is one of my favorite looking locomotives.

Thank You for the comments everyone. Good god that rear coupler pocket sticks way out there, really awsome job though. One of these days I will put in #58s and I will move them back. I think I just drill out and taped the hole for the factory plastic clip when I should have drill a new hole further back.. |

Very Very Nice.
Been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and when they repainted them for the "Super Fleet" service I learned to love them even more.
Very well done
Paulie
