I just recently saw some SD45's [ Bachmann Spectrum ] listed in the Micro mark catalog at $39.95 and ordered one [ PRR markings ]. It came yesterday, and I was impressed. I know Bachmann seems to get as much bad press as praise, but this thing has the see thru steps, photo-etched screens in the sides, painted figures in the cab, fans in the top are two piece, blades are separate from grill and see-thru also. The lights maintain the same brightness regardless of speed, has the hoses front and rear, runs great with a sort of quiet growling noise.
The last diesel I bought with all these features cost close to a hundred bucks. Was this an exceptionally good price or typical for these engines? Are the SD45's a pretty common freight engine? Bear with me now, I've got a lot to learn about the diesels--Thanks, ----------John R
