And with Kato just having announced a new run of DCC-friendly SD45's in 4 paint schemes (due in October), the signs would seem favorable...

I certainly hope they announce PRR SD45's in the next year.

Let's hope they add some more paint schemes.  The current crop is less lacking quite a few.

I think Kato never did a Pennsy SD45, but I bought a custom painted Kato SD45 in Pennsylvania done by Express Station Hobbies back in 1997.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

For me, hard to resist too many DRGW SD45's.  A dream come true, and a little renumbering of the "extras" ;D

Not hard at all; one can of ScaleCoat II PRR Brunswick Green spraypaint and one set of Microscale 60-21 PRR Diesel Hoods units decals and you're golden.

I almost bought a couple of the undec SD45's one vendor had on sale at Bedford to paint up myself, since I already have the paint and decals.

What was the life span over these engines?  I know they was built until 71, but did they make it to the end of ther CR era?  Is there a sit where I can get rd numbers for what Pennsy had?

Also how good is the B-Mann ones?
