The Atlas 10003744 SD-24 Low Nose SP Southern Pacific #7200 Gold is an HO scale model with DCC and sound capabilities. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Between July 1958 and March 1963, EMD produced over 220 SD-24 locomotives. This locomotive used a turbocharged 567D-3 prime mover and a C-C wheel arrangement to generate 2,400 hp. Most SD-24s were bought by four major railroads: Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Santa Fe, Southern, and Union Pacific. Atlas' HO scale model showcases unique details for each railroad name. Burlington (CB&Q) features 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 has 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 HO scale Atlas SD - 24 model is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up properly to enjoy the sound features. You can easily connect it to your existing HO scale track layout. When operating, handle it gently to avoid any damage to the delicate details. As for maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to ensure smooth movement. Also, check the electrical connections every once in a while to make sure the DCC and sound functions work well. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any rust or damage. And remember, although the picture might show a different road number, the features of your #7200 Gold model remain the same.
