Why this model matters

Locomotive 4535 in SRA Candy livery reflects the later evolution of State Rail Authority branding in New South Wales, introducing a brighter, more modern visual identity compared to earlier Indian Red schemes. The addition of Yellow L7 markings and red roof detailing represents operational variation within the 45 Class fleet during this period.

This model is ideal for accurately portraying the transition into more modernised Australian rail operations while retaining the classic diesel-era character.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a DC or DCC system depending on configuration. Regular maintenance of wheels and track is recommended for optimal performance.

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