|  |         Built on the same frame as the SD40, SD38 and several other EMD staples, EMD     produced 1,260 SD45s between Decembers 1965 and 1971.  These     freight haulers sported EMD's 645E3 20-cylinder engine which had 3,600HP     output.  EMD's SD45s served on the Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific,     Santa Fe, Pennsylvania, Great Northern, UP, NP and many other railroads.      Today, locomotives are currently preserved at the GN Railway Historical     Society, the St Louis Museum of Transportation, the Virginia Museum of     Transportation, the Utah State Railroad Museum, the Illinois Railway Museum     and the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.  In our first     production, we are modeling eight railroads with prototypically accurate     road numbers and paint schemes.   Each model has our newest Paragon4     Sound/DC/DCC control system featuring Rolling Thunder, and equipped with     integral GoPack capacitor packs.  All of our models have road-specific     details and lighting.  List of     individually controllable lights in our EMD SD45 models:             Headlight      Rear Light      Mars Light (SP       only)      Numberboard       Lights (Front & Rear)      Front       Classification Lights      Rear       Classification Lights      Emergency Light       (SP only)      Rotary Beacon (ATSF,       BN, UP)      Cab Light Road-specific     detail options in this production, prototypically accurate for each road     name:             Two short hood       options      Three truck       sideframe options      Three sunshade       options      Dynamic brake       hatch style      Wind       Deflector/Mirror      Cab Window       Armrest type      Cab roof antenna       type and location      Rotary beacon       type/location      Front headlight       arrangement type      Rear numberboard       type      Radiator fan       type      Four front pilot       options      Four rear pilot       options      AC on cab roof -       ATSF only      Multiple MU       Receptacle arrangements      Prototypically       accurate bell placement                               | Industry-leading Model           Features:
