First produced in the late 1950s, General Electric’s 45-Tonners were primarily used in short line and industrial applications,
designed to complement or replace their steam-powered counterparts at the end of the steam era.
GE 45 Ton Side-Rod Diesels are still being produced and are in use worldwide in several gauges.
The DCC-ready 1:20.3 Scale General Electric 45-Ton Side-Rod Diesel
marks a departure from Bachmann’s traditional steam offerings,
but the high level of detailing and cutting-edge technology at the heart of our Spectrum philosophy remains the same.
Powered by dual motor and gearbox assemblies and featuring a meticulously detailed lighted cab interior,
the GE 45 Tonner is an excellent addition to any or post-steam or transition-era railroad.
