The ATLAS Gold 40005279 EMD GP40 in N Scale is a high - quality model. It represents the CSX MOW #7920 with ditch lights and comes with DCC & Sound. Note that pictures might show a different road number. This locomotive is modeled after the Electro Motive Division's 2000 - horsepower GP - 38 diesel from the late 1960s to early 1970s, still in service across North America. The GP - 38 is recognized by two radiator fans on the long hood and two small exhaust stacks. The GP - 40, made in the same period, is a 3000 - horsepower locomotive with three full - size radiator fans on the rear of the roof. Features include directional lighting, walkway safety tread, blackened metal wheels, a Scale Speed™ motor, factory - equipped AccuMate® knuckle couplers, dynamic brakes (as per railroad), and golden - white LEDs. Gold locomotives offer special DCC operation features like support for all DCC - programming modes, RailCom and RailComPlus, flexible function key mapping, and 6 DCC function outputs. ESU LokSound features in gold locomotives provide over 20 sound effects, multiple user - selectable horns, bells, and brake squeals, along with manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using this N Scale ATLAS Gold EMD GP40 locomotive is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly. Connect the locomotive to the tracks and power on your system. You can use the DCC controller to start, stop, and control the speed of the locomotive. To access the sound features, simply press the corresponding function keys on your DCC controller. When it comes to the different sounds, you can choose your favorite horn, bell, and other effects. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris regularly. Check the wheels and couplers from time to time to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice any loose parts or abnormal noises during operation, power off the system immediately and inspect the locomotive. Also, store the locomotive in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
