Has there been any rumors of Scale Trains doing an SD45T-2?
For some reason I kinda just assumed they had already done it in HO. Now I see they haven't. Also in re-educating myself about tunnel motors I now see that for the mid 70s I would 'need' the 45s, not 40s. Not that I restrict myself to that era. 
I'm trying to decide how many N SD40T-2 to pre-order and figuring if I want to run them with IM SD45T-2s and how long I might be doing that for.
They haven't announced an HO version of the SD45T-2, but most surmise its only a matter of time. The SD40T-2 shares the frame as the SD45X (which they announced recently) as well as the SD45T-2. And the SD40A and SDP45s.
I'm no Nostradamus, but I would venture the HO versions would be announced before (or perhaps along side) the N scale versions. But they have only done 1 run of the HO SD40T-2 in 2020. I'd say its inevitable for SD45T-2s in N scale from them, but I would guess at least 1-2 years before then.
