Why this model matters

Locomotive 4505 in NSWGR Indian Red represents the early diesel era of New South Wales Government Railways, when the 45 Class became a key part of mainline operations across freight and passenger services in the 1970s. The Indian Red livery is one of the most recognisable schemes of the period.

This model is ideal for historically accurate layouts focused on the transition from steam to diesel traction and the development of modern Australian rail operations.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a DCC controller to access full sound and lighting functions. Ensure wheels and track are clean for optimal performance and smooth sound operation.

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