Looking for an ultra-detailed six-axle unit lettered down to the road number? ScaleTrains' EMD SD45T-3 in their premium Rivet Counter line, in Kansas City Southern/Gray/Gyralite/Small Cab Numbers paint, is exactly that kind of centerpiece.
Kansas City Southern bought ten SD45T-2 "tunnel motors" from the Southern Pacific and had them rebuilt in 1996 as SD45T-3s. These 3,600 hp six-axle units, recognizable by the lowered radiator air intakes inherited from Sierra Nevada service, led KCS freight trains for some fifteen years.
