This is an ATLAS Trainman N Scale model of the EMD GP15 - 1 locomotive. It represents Burlington Northern #1379 in a beautiful Cascade Green and white color. Note that pictures might show a different road number. Built from 1976 to 1982, the real - life EMD GP15 - 1 4 - axle diesel locomotive had a 12 - cylinder EMD 645E engine that produced 1,500hp. It was often used as a light road switcher or yard switcher, with 310 units built for American railroads. This model comes with great features like scale dimensions and details, directional lighting, DCC readiness, blackened metal wheels, a 5 - pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels and a low - friction mechanism, and factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Using this ATLAS Trainman N Scale model is easy. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. Place the locomotive on the track and power it up using a standard DC power source. The directional lighting will automatically adjust based on the direction of movement. When it comes to DCC, if you want to upgrade, it's DCC ready, but you'll need to install the appropriate decoder. As for maintenance, keep the blackened metal wheels clean to ensure smooth running. You can use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Store the locomotive in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. Be gentle when handling the locomotive to avoid damaging the factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.
