*****Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype History:

Entering production in 1966, the SD45 was popular with many Class 1 railroads of the era, with many seeing lengthy careers with their original or secondhand owners. Many SD45s, including rebuilt variants, would operate well into the 2000s.
