The Atlas Gold 40005410 presents an N scale model of the FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster, specifically the RDG Reading #803 with DCC and sound capabilities. Note that the picture might display a different road number. Advertised by Fairbanks - Morse as 'the most useful locomotive ever built', the H24 - 66 Train Master debuted in 1953. This versatile locomotive, with various equipment options, served both passenger and freight services across the US and 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 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, DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, and 6 function outputs that can be individually mapped. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects, 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 properly. Connect the locomotive to the track and power on the system. You can control the train's speed and direction using the DCC controller. For the sound features, simply assign the functions on your controller to activate the various sound effects like the engine start - up and air horn. When handling the train, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts such as the etched metal grilles and the painted safety rails. Store the train in a dry and clean place to prevent rust on the blackened metal wheels. Regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to maintain good electrical contact. For the DCC and sound functions, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for software updates to keep the train performing at its best.
