Description
HO scale EMD SDP45 Diesel Locomotive in Burlington Northern livery, road number 6592. This model reproduces the SDP45 variant introduced in the 1960s to add a steam generator compartment to the long hood end for passenger service, which required a longer frame. It carries the Great Northern lineage as ex-GN 326, with hi-brake cylinders and a cab-mounted MILW-style electronic bell for an authentic, road-specific appearance.
On HO layouts, this locomotive delivers reliable performance thanks to a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision-machined flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for smooth, trouble-free operation. It benefits from all-wheel drive and electrical pickup, RP25-contoured wheels for compatibility with popular track brands, LED lighting for realism, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, it arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with prototype-accurate paint and lettering. For HO layouts, a minimum radius of 18 inches is required, with 22 inches recommended for the smoothest operation.
