The ATLAS Trainman 40004994 EMD GP15-1 locomotive in York Rail #1531 livery (orange, yellow, black) is a Standard DC N Scale model. Note that pictures might show a different road number. Built from 1976 to 1982, this 4-axle diesel locomotive was powered by a 12-cylinder EMD 645E engine with 1,500hp. It was often used as a light road or yard switcher, and 310 units were made for American railroads. Features include scale dimensions, directional lighting, DCC readiness, blackened metal wheels, a 5-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels and low friction, and factory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Using your ATLAS Trainman EMD GP15-1 locomotive is easy. Just connect it to your standard DC N scale train layout. Make sure the power is switched on and set at an appropriate level for smooth operation. When it comes to the lighting, it will automatically change direction as the locomotive moves forward or backward. For DCC users, you can upgrade it later since it's DCC ready. As for maintenance, regularly clean the blackened metal wheels to ensure good electrical contact. Also, keep the locomotive in a dry and clean place. If you notice any issues with the motor or couplers, handle them gently and follow basic troubleshooting steps. Remember, the pictures might show a different road number, but the features and performance of your locomotive remain top - notch.
