FP45

My Irish pal Gerry O'Ogle showed me several when I asked for the US Hobbies version!

My F45 is still patiently waiting for its Susquehanna paint job

Thanks Jason    I can see the Susquehanna paint job would look quite snappy indeed.  My weekness is the Santa Fe silver and red. Its to bad the FP45 didn't see more passenger service. cTr....( Choose the Right )

Apparently some of them got painted back to red and silver

Just need a couple of buckets of warm soapy water I guess

Yep.

Beginning in 1989, Santa Fe applied the large "Cooper" font on the FP45 repaints rather than the extended Passenger Roman originally applied.  Of course, by this time they were no longer passenger locomotives.

Santa Fe used the FP45's to "re-introduce" the classic Warbonnet to the world.

There it is Rusty - in Wichita.  Just learned how to do something else on the computer - keep excerpts from vids on YouTube AND listen to Bruce Dickinson at the same time AND with the other hand phone the Doc to book in for a 4th jab.  Hang on, my cup of tea's getting cold....

At last a free posting finger: https://youtu.be/eU6RXMtW9Dk?t=761

OK, OK, thanks YT for giving me ads for free and not telling me how how to end the excerpt.  Thank goodness I mowed the grass yesterday.

Hi Erik

So you're saying the KTM/US Hobbies FP45 version is not 'scale accurate'.  It's got the longer body for the boiler, where's it wrong?
