The HO EMD SD45 Locomotive, UP 3620, marks an impressive addition to any model train collection, elegantly capturing the essence of a classic freight hauler.

Built on the same frame as several other EMD staples, this model is powered by EMD's exceptional 645E3 engine, which boasted a remarkable 3,600 horsepower output. Originally produced between December 1965 and 1971, the SD45s served a variety of railroads, including Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe, contributing to their legendary status. This Paragon4 Series model showcases the latest technology, featuring a sound and control system with Rolling Thunder, and includes integral capacitor packs for enhanced performance.

Rail enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail, with road-specific paint schemes, premium caliber finishes, and many separately applied details like handrails and etched metal grills. The locomotive also features excellent slow-speed operation, making it suitable for both DC and DCC systems. With an ABS body mounted on a robust die-cast chassis, the SD45 is designed for maximum tractive effort and realism.
