Intermmountain SD-45-2

I like N-scale locos with ERIE or Erie-Lackawanna paint scheme.

My Kato E/L SD-45's run flawlessly and I was wondering how the Intermountain SD-45-2 runs as it is available in EL livery.

Anyone have any comments on the IM SD-45-2?

Ather favorite E/L runners of mine are a pair of Atlas GP-35's.

I've got one of IM's tunnel motors and compared to a Kato unit of the same size, well, IM looks better to me but the Kato runs more smoothly. Of course, this is just my opinion...and I'd buy another IM in a heart beat and as a matter of fact - I've got another one on order.

Glad to hear they run decently. Perhaps a little weight could be shoe-horned into the shell.

I have two sets of I/M FT A&B units in ERIE that run very smoothly so I have no problem with getting another I/M product.

When it comes to EL power I think a SD-45-2 is about as big as it gets.

Maybe one of these days I'll start picking up larger Conrail locos.
