Here are a few Kato SD45's I threw together because I needed a few more good running 6 axle motors to run on the roadswitchers that run on my layout.
No biggie - just grab a pair cheap from Evil-bay, strip, detail, and repaint. Quick and easy projects are just great!

I searched through my photo collection and picked the 2 units I would model and chose both units from the 5304 class of ATSF's SD45's. Both units also rode on flexcoil trucks with high mounted brake cylinders. Both were also rebuilt in 1985 and both still looked reasonably well in 1995.
Both units also had burn marks under the dynamic brakes, which I did my best to try to recreate by using rust colored acrylic paints.
