Lionel O Gauge EMD SD45 Diesel Locomotive Erie Lackawanna 3304 - This is a Lionel LLC O gauge 3-rail model of an EMD SD45 diesel locomotive, finished in the Erie Lackawanna Railroad maroon, yellow, and gray livery. The locomotive features a highly detailed plastic body shell characterized by the realistic flared radiator section at the rear, specific to the SD45 prototype. The model is built with a die-cast metal frame and die-cast metal six-wheel trucks for increased weight and tracking stability. Decoration includes the Erie Lackawanna diamond logo on the nose and cab sides, with ERIE LACKAWANNA lettering along the long hood. The road number 3304 is printed on the cab sides. Visible markings on the underside of the fuel tank read LIONEL LLC and MADE IN CHINA. Physical details include separately applied wire handrails, roof-mounted air horns, cab window sunshades, and a front pilot equipped with a snowplow and an operating coupler. The mechanical configuration includes dual pickup rollers on each truck and geared drive systems at both ends, indicating dual motor operation. A speaker grille is located on the underside of the fuel tank, designed for use with an internal sound system. The locomotive is in good, used condition. All major structural components, including the handrails, horns, and couplers, remain intact. There is a significant accumulation of dust on the upper horizontal surfaces, particularly on the cab roof, radiator fans, and walkways, consistent with long-term display or storage. No original box or packaging is included with this item.
