The most powerful locomotive using this series of engine was the SD45. The EMD SDP45 was a good passenger locomotive, but to the Santa Fe Railway it did not look the part. EMD therefore designed a lightweight \"cowl\" body to cover the locomotive, though it did not, as in earlier cab units, provide any structural strength, which remained in the frame. The cowl provided sleeker looks, better aerodynamics at speed, and allowed the crew to enter the engine compartment en route for diagnostics and maintenance. After sponsoring the development of the FP45 passenger locomotive, the Santa Fe requested a similar freight locomotive from Electro-Motive. Where the FP45 was an SDP45 wrapped in a full-width Cowl carbody, the new F45 was essentially an SD45 given the same treatment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ATSF FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e ATSF body with dynamic brakes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FP45 SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e See-through cab windows\u003cbr\u003e Split water and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003e Snow plow or plate welded pilot\u003cbr\u003e Flush mounted port hole window glass\u003cbr\u003e Flexicoil-C sideframes with high brake cylinders\u003cbr\u003e Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003e 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003cbr\u003e Wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003cbr\u003e Bidirectional constant LED lighting so headlight brightness remains constant\u003cbr\u003e Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003e Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003e Accurately-painted and -printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e Fully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius: 9-3\/4\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e Onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003cbr\u003e Sound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003e Full DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003e Engine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003cbr\u003e All functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003e Precision slow speed control\u003cbr\u003e Program a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003e Many functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003cbr\u003e CV chart included in the box","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187360763986,"sku":"ATH-19181-PRE","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/5kYrM7_098c6832-c94c-4b83-b0f8-469925e54524.png?v=1761318247","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-n-19181-fp45-atchison-topeka-and-santa-fe-96-229-49","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
