O BTO D&RGW Superbass SD45 #5340
Denver & Rio Grande Superbass SD45 #5340
EMD’s big power option in the 1960s, the SD45 found
a home on many railroads across the country. This run
of SD45’s includes examples from some of the largest
and smallest rosters as well as some unique new detail
features and paint schemes. Each road name is available
in two powered and one Superbass unit to help you
build a large consist – or in the case of the D&H, model
their entire roster!
Stand outs in this series include the Rio Grande’s unique
nose headlights on the later, larger graphics. Reading’s
5 SD45s were the only units equipped with dual control
stands – requiring an extension on the front of the
cab which we’ve modeled. Southern Pacific had the
largest fleet of SD45s and after rebuilds kept many on
the roster all the way to the end. This run focuses on
the SD45R group in the post-1992 paint scheme, with
detail variations on each of the three road numbers to
accurately reflect the diversity of the fleet.
