@prrhorseshoecurve posted:Yes the fuel tanks were never scaled out to full O scale- even in the initial Premier roll out back last century . This is why The model is in the Railking Scale line- along with the fact that Amtrak never had the FP45 model to begin with. Amtrak's first new 6 axle diesel was the SDP40F which had different engine and rear cowl end arrangement than the FP45 and was a bit longer- like an SD50.
No O scale/O gauge importer/ manufacturer has made a EMD SDP40F. This is about as close as you can get now in O Scale/ O Gauge SDP4OF unless you kitbash/scratch build your own OR HOUND Scott Mann at 3rd Rail to make an actual SDP40F model.
Look at the brite side, its more scale than the Williams version!
Yes, better than Williams!!! So close, other than the tank, it's really nice. It some point perhaps I'll kitbash, cut tank up the middle and re-mount. I appreciate your reply.
