There are at least two variations to the AHM FP-45 release. The original
version features a small red Union Pacific down the side of the engine. The later edition includes larger lettering,
the UP shield, and the "We Can Handle It" slogan.
Listed as a new in AHM catalogs of
the early/mid '70s, the EMD FP-45 stayed in the company's roster through the early '80s after arriving on the scene in mid
1977.
The FP-45 models found on this page differ from those found on the neighboring page under the FP-45C -Lima heading.
The Lima-made FP-45s were the first sold by AHM and did not remain in the catalog terribly long. By the mid '70s, AHM
had apparently switched from the Lima-Italian FP-45 to the Mehano Yugoslovian-made FP-45 seen here.
This second FP-45 model is distringuished from the Lima FP-45 by the open front
and rear pilots, which are attached to the shell and not the trucks in this example. This FP-45 also has steps included
on the shell, not cast on the trucks, coming down from the cab.
At its introduction in the middle of 1977, the retail
price for this model was $17.98. Non-powered examples originally sold for $7.98. Non-powered examples are noted
in AHM's stock numbering with a "D" added to the end of the number. The 1980 AHM Catalog lists this model with a $24.98
suggested retail price.
