WalthersProto EMD SD45, standard DC. Erie Lackawanna #3629 (gray, maroon, yellow). By 1964, six-axle diesels were rapidly evolving from low speed luggers to fast freight engines. EMD continuously updated its Special Duty (SD) series with new models, and celebrated New Years Day 1966 by unveiling six locos powered by variations of its new 645 prime mover. At the top was the SD45, with an enormous 20-cylinder power plant cranking out 3600 horsepower. Timing couldn't have been better as American railroads experienced a surge in traffic and were ready to modernize their fleets. The SD45 proved popular for all types of assignments, and 1,260 were built through late 1971, when it was replaced by the SD45-2. Retirements began in earnest in the 1980s, but many were rebuilt and eventually sold to regional railroads. As of 2011, a few are still in use, and several are preserved in museums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition - One time run of these roadnumbers!\u003cbr\u003eRoadname-specific detailing\u003cbr\u003e14:1 helical gears for smooth, quiet performance\u003cbr\u003e5-pole skew-wound high-torque high-efficiency can motor\u003cbr\u003eMachined-brass flywheels\u003cbr\u003eLow speed under 3 scale MPH\u003cbr\u003eNow with Soundtraxx Tsunami Sound for DCC or DC layouts\u003cbr\u003eStandard DC versions also available\u003cbr\u003eLED constant \u0026amp; directional headlights\u003cbr\u003eProto MAX™ metal knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed to match units in service from mid-1970 to 1974 with:\u003cbr\u003eCab-mounted headlights\u003cbr\u003eShort blower sill duct\u003cbr\u003eFootboards on pilots\u003cbr\u003eStandard style coupler cut lever\u003cbr\u003eLeslie S-3L horn\u003cbr\u003eLarge Sinclair antenna\u003cbr\u003eRear wheel-type hand brake\u003cbr\u003eLate Flexicoil trucks with two high, outside mounted brake cylinders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
