Why this model matters

Locomotive 4517 in SRA Candy livery with grey roof and Yellow L7 marking represents a specific operational variation within the State Rail Authority’s modernised branding period in New South Wales. These variations add authenticity to prototype-based modelling, reflecting how locomotives differed subtly across the 45 Class fleet.

This model is well suited for detailed HO scale layouts that aim to accurately represent fleet diversity during the late diesel era.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a DC or DCC system depending on configuration. Regular cleaning of wheels and track is recommended for smooth and reliable operation.

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