Why this model matters

45s1 represents a rebuilt member of the NSWGR 45 Class locomotives, later operated by Silverton Rail in distinctive blue and yellow branding. The locomotive is associated with early 2000s private freight operations in New South Wales and stands out due to its striking corporate livery and continued heavy freight use.

This model captures an important phase in Australian rail privatisation and freight evolution, making it a key addition for collectors and operational layouts focused on modern diesel traction.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a suitable DC or DCC control system. Ensure wheels and track are clean for optimal performance and smooth running.

This is a model railway locomotive. It is not a toy and is recommended for hobbyists aged 14 years and over.
