Explore the Atlas Gold 40005414 N scale model train, an FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster representing Southern Pacific #4804 with DCC and sound features. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The H24-66 Train Master, touted by Fairbanks-Morse as 'the most useful locomotive ever built', made its debut in 1953. A versatile locomotive with multiple equipment options, it served both passenger and freight services across the US and was the most powerful single-engine locomotive at the time, churning out 2,400 hp. Key features include large number boards and a single headlight at the ends, golden-white LED lights, directional lighting, painted safety rails, etched metal grilles, blackened metal wheels, a scale speed motor, and factory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. For gold locomotives manufactured in 2022 or later, the DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with 14, 28, or 128 speed steps and 2 - digit and 4 - digit addressing, has flexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28, offers 6 DCC function outputs that can be individually function - mapped, and adheres to all NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound feature provides over 20 sound effects such as engine start - up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, and dynamic brakes. There are up to 16 user - selectable horns, 2 user - selectable bells, and 2 user - selectable synchronized brake squeals, along with manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using your Atlas Gold N scale model train is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up according to the instructions. You can then connect the train to the tracks and start operating it. Use the DCC controller to adjust the speed, and take advantage of the different speed steps available. To enjoy the sound effects, ensure the ESU LokSound feature is enabled. You can select different horns, bells, and brake squeals to customize your experience. When it comes to maintenance, keep the train clean. Use a soft brush to remove any dust or debris from the body, wheels, and grilles. Check the couplers regularly to make sure they are working properly. If you notice any issues with the DCC operation or sound, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps. Avoid exposing the train to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the components. And always handle the train gently to prevent any physical damage.
