Wondering what panel and breakers I can use to replace this old federal pacific?

Would a Square D Homeline 100 Amp six Spot 12 Circuit Panel work? With six 20amp single pole homeline breakers?

I’ve never seen anything like that before. Even looking beyond the mess, I’m trying to work it out.

Is it a state side thing?

A member from the states hopefully will be along shortly to advice.

Every time I think I’ve got a grasp I haven’t.

Can someone explain it?

P.S. I don’t get the train thing also...

Anything is a improvement over a FPE panel with the possible exception of a Eaton BR panel, which I call Zinsco II, Zinsco, and FPE, Federal Pacific Electric are the 2 most reviled names in electrical equipment due to the problems with some of the products those 2 companies made.

Federal pacific has been out of business for years
