Antonio, <br /> <br />I ment that the #92 unit was rare, according to my Athearn book. <br /> <br />As for your sound idea, a K5LA was exactly what I was thinking! The real ATSF FP45s had Nathan P3s, a horn I don't particularly like. But a K5LA would be grand! <br /> <br />As for detailing, as I said I will be detailing an undec unit to match #92 in the 1990s. That means it'll have an amber warning light, air conditioner, ect. <br /> <br />Your see through Q fans are a great idea! I had often wondered how I would be able to hear the sound from the outside (although I have heard that a few modelers don't have any holes for speakers and they can still hear them fine). I also like your Mashima motor idea, although my current FP45 is pretty quiet and only "grinds" at higher speeds. <br /> <br />What is your email Antonio? We can chat more through email instead of clogging up the forums with our babbeling![:D][;)] <br /> <br />Jonathon <br /> <br />Edit: P.S. I would NEVER buy a Lima or Model Power FP45![xx(] They can't match the Athearn.
