Nearly units were purchased 1300 by more than railroads during its 20 1966 -1971 production years. Several roads still use the SD45 today. At last, KATO Precision Railroad Models has masterfully recreated this cylinder, 20 3600 horsepower workhorse, with the outstanding detail and performance that KATO is known for.

Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

  • EMD SD45 for Train Simulator 2013 Owner´S Manual
    EMD SD45 for Train Simulator 2013 Owner´s Manual A little bit of history The EMD SD45 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between December, 1965, and December, 1971. Power was provided by an EMD 645E3 twenty-cylinder engine which generated 3,600 HP. This locomotive shared the same common frame with the EMD SD38, EMD SD39, EMD SD40, and EMD SDP40. A total of 1,260 units were built for American railroads. Following this, the SD45-2 was released as its upgraded replacement. Additional models, like the SD45T-2, featuring the Tunnel Motor design, were released. SD45s had several teething problems. Reliability was not as high as anticipated, due to the twen- ty-cylinder prime mover’s propensity to break its own crankshaft. Even though it created an extra 600 horsepower (450 kW) from the 16-645 in the SD40, some railroads felt it just wasn’t worth it, even after EMD redesigned the block to reduce crankshaft flexing. Buyers included the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, the Great Northern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railway. (Contrary to what many believe, the SD45 was not a “gas guzzler.” It produced more power per unit of fuel than its 3,000 hp (2,240 kW) counterpart, the SD40. However, it did consume much more fuel at idle than the 16 cylinder prime mover in the SD40, and at the time, standard operating practice amongst US railroads was to leave a diesel locomotive idling when not in use.) Many SD45s can still be found, some rebuilt with sixteen-cylinder 645s, operating for lease companies.
