The ATLAS Trainman 40004984 offers an N Scale Standard DC model of the EMD GP15 - 1 locomotive in the Burlington Northern #1378 livery with Cascade Green, white, and the US Flag colors. Note that pictures may show a different road number. Built from 1976 to 1982, this 4 - axle diesel locomotive was powered by a 12 - cylinder EMD 645E engine with 1,500hp. It was often used as a light road or yard switcher, and 310 units were built for American railroads. Key features include scale - accurate dimensions and details, directional lighting, DCC readiness, blackened metal wheels, a 5 - pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels and low - friction mechanism, and factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Using this ATLAS Trainman N scale locomotive is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible DC power source. Connect the locomotive to the track and switch on the power. The directional lighting will automatically adjust as the locomotive moves forward or backward. When adding cars to the train, use the factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. Just bring the couplers close to each other and they'll snap together. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Periodically check the blackened metal wheels for any debris. If the locomotive seems to run less smoothly, you might need to lubricate the moving parts with a small amount of model - train lubricant. Remember, pictures might show a different road number, so don't be surprised if your locomotive looks a bit different from the images.
