Why this model matters

Locomotive 4520 in Freight Rail Light Blue represents a later operational phase of the 45 Class fleet, where units were updated with modernised lighting arrangements such as twin marker lights and modified bufferless configurations. These changes reflect evolving safety standards and operational requirements in later diesel-era railroading.

This model adds historical depth to layouts depicting the progression from earlier NSWGR operations into Freight Rail branding and modernised diesel practices.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a DC or DCC system depending on configuration. Ensure wheels and track are clean for optimal performance and reliable operation.

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