I have a Del Prado FP 45 like this one:

Makes for a nice dummy engine sitting in the yard. I read someone took a Bachmann SD40-2 to make it a running engine.    Rich

The ATLAS SD50/60 chassis works for the FP45 shell.I think you can use the KATO SD45 chassis for the F45.

I've been thinking about a way to convert one of their static Sterling Singles into an operating model but its a matter of figuring out a suitable 9' diameter driver.

The shell appears to be pretty much a copy of the old Lima model.  Years ago, I put the original Bachmann SD-40 chassis under the Lima shell.  Certainly not perfect, but I was happy with it.  I suspect the Del Prado shell could be likewise employed.

Definitely looks to be the old Lima shell.I have 4-5 Lima's,cut down to F-45's.I just painted a BN,since they ran into Scranton as pool power on the EL.I cut out a section of the middle of the shell,and put them on Trix U30CG chassis with old Life Like GP38 pilots..
