EMD SD45 (HO Scale)
The SD45 is a reliable, heavy-duty locomotive that has been utilized by many different North American railroads at one time or another since its 1965 introduction to the railroading scene. Noteworthy as the first diesel locomotive with an engine of more than 16 cylinders, EMD would eventually build 1260 of these 3600-horsepower road switcher units in less than six years!
More than twenty-five railroads bought these units new, and several more purchased them second-hand. Some of these users applied more than one paint scheme to the sides of the SD45 as well. (That’s a lot of modeling possibilities for our Undecorated model!!) A distinguishing mark of the SD45 is the flared radiator along the top edge of the long hood’s midsection.
Santa Fe #5592 & #5596
The Santa Fe Warbonnet continues to be the most recognized North American railroad paint scheme. ATSF 5592 was one of the first SD45s repainted from the Pinstripe scheme to the Warbonnet. It received the paint scheme prior to rebuilding and the addition of a cab roof air conditioner. Sister 5596 also received the Warbonnet scheme. Both units have been photographed without the nose headlight modification, making them good candidates for our bodyshell.
