Athearn N F45 Locomotive with DCC & Sound
In 1969, Great Northern placed an order for 14 F45 locomotives. They were delivered in their blue and grey scheme, affectionately named “Big Sky Blue” by railfans. In a few short years, they would be absorbed into the then-new Burlington Northern with a coat of Cascade Green and a new number class. Key Features 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth & quiet operation Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power
