Explore the ATLAS Gold 40005239 EMD SD60M model train in N scale. It represents the Terminal Railroad Association TRRA #4002 in striking red and white colors. Note that pictures may show a different road number. In the early 1980s, EMD introduced the SD - 50 with a 16 - cylinder, 3500 h.p. engine, relocating dynamic brake resistors to a cooler area. The SD - 60, visually similar, replaced the 645F engine with the 710G. You can tell them apart by the door panels. The 'wide nose' or 'safety cab' was an option in 1988, and its contour changed in 1991. This model comes with great features like deck or pilot - mounted ditch lights, directional lighting, and separate plow and winterization hatch for the modeler to install. It has blackened wheels, a slower - speed motor for scale speeds, AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers, and Golden - White LEDs. For gold locomotives, DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus, and offers flexible function key mapping. The sound functionality provides over 20 sound effects, user - selectable horns, bells, and synchronized brake squeals, and ESU’s 'Full Throttle' features for realistic running.

Using your ATLAS Gold EMD SD60M model train is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up properly. You can control the train's speed and functions using the DCC controller. For sound, select your preferred effects from the many available options. When handling the train, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the ditch lights and couplers. Store the train in a dry and dust - free place. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body. For the wheels, you can use a small amount of mild cleaner. Regularly check the couplers to ensure they are working properly and lubricate them if needed. When installing the plow and winterization hatch, follow the included instructions carefully.
