This is the Atlas 10003764 SD-26 Low Nose SF Kodachrome #4624 Gold model in HO scale with DCC & Sound. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Between July 1958 and March 1963, EMD produced over 220 SD-24 locomotives. These locomotives had a turbocharged 567D-3 prime mover and a C-C wheel arrangement, generating 2,400 hp. Four major roads - Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Santa Fe, Southern, and Union Pacific - bought most of the SD-24s. Atlas' HO scale model has unique details for each road: Burlington (CB&Q) has a high nose, a single - chime air horn on the short hood, a non - operating Gyra - light on the short hood, and a winterization hatch. Santa Fe features a low nose and a 3 - chime horn on the left side of the hood behind the cab. Southern has a high nose, a 5 - chime horn on the cab, and a bell detail on the short hood. Union Pacific has a low nose, a 3 - chime horn between the 2nd and 3rd radiator fans, and a winterization hatch.

Using this Atlas SD - 26 locomotive model is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up properly. Connect the model to your DCC controller, and you can start operating it right away. The sound feature will bring an extra level of realism to your model train experience. When handling the locomotive, be gentle. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force as it has delicate parts. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body regularly. If there's dirt on the wheels, you can use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to clean them. Store the locomotive in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage.
