Why this model matters

Locomotive 4535 in SRA Candy livery represents the later period of State Rail Authority branding in New South Wales, where the colourful “Candy” scheme replaced earlier Indian Red liveries. The addition of Yellow L7 markings and red roof detailing reflects operational variations seen across the 45 Class fleet.

This model captures a visually distinctive and historically significant era of Australian rail transport, ideal for layouts focusing on the transition into modernised rail operations.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO gauge track and operate using a DCC controller to access full sound and lighting features. Ensure wheels and track are clean for optimal performance and smooth audio operation.

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