The Atlas Gold 40005405 presents an N - scale FM H - 24 - 66 Phase 1A Trainmaster of the DL&W Delaware, Lackawanna & Western #853, complete with DCC and sound. The picture might show a different road number. Advertised by Fairbanks - Morse as 'the most useful locomotive ever built', the H24 - 66 Train Master made its debut in 1953. This versatile locomotive, with various equipment options, was used for both passenger and freight services across the US. It was the most powerful single - engine locomotive at that time, generating 2,400 hp. Key features include large number boards and a single headlight at the ends, golden - white LEDs, 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 made in 2022 or later, the DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, 6 function outputs for individual mapping, and follows NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects like engine start - up and shutdown, prime mover sounds, bell, air horn, and more. There are also user - selectable horns, bells, and brake squeals, and manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using your Atlas Gold N Scale FM H - 24 - 66 Phase 1A Trainmaster is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly according to the mode and addressing you prefer. You can start the engine and enjoy the realistic sound effects right away. When operating, take note that the locomotive has sensitive components, so handle it gently to avoid damage. For maintenance, regularly clean the metal wheels to ensure smooth movement. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and grilles. If you want to change the sound settings or function mappings, refer to the DCC and ESU LokSound manuals. Also, keep it in a dry and dust - free place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
