The Atlas Gold 40005376 presents an EMD GP9 locomotive with torpedo tubes, numbered GT Grand Trunk #4921, in N scale with DCC and sound capabilities. Note that the picture might display a different road number. Introduced in 1949, the Electro - Motive 1500hp GP - 7 combined F7 machinery with a hood - type carbody for high visibility and easy engine access. It was used for all kinds of trains and sometimes replaced cab units. The GP - 9, similar in appearance, uses a 1750hp engine. Key features include a powered low - friction drive, blackened metal wheels, dual brass flywheels, directional lighting with golden - white LEDs, and AccuMate® couplers. Gold locomotives offer great DCC operation features like support for all DCC - programming modes, RailCom and RailComPlus, flexible function key mapping, and 6 individual DCC function outputs. They also follow NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound features over 20 sound effects such as engine start - up and shutdown, and offer up to 16 user - selectable horns, 2 user - selectable bells, and 2 user - selectable synchronized brake squeals. Manual and automatic notching modes can be changed on the fly for a realistic experience.

Using your Atlas Gold N scale EMD GP9 locomotive is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up properly and turned on. Connect the locomotive to the tracks and power it up. You can control the speed and direction of the train using your DCC controller. For the sound features, just use the function keys on your controller to activate different sounds like the horn, bell, or engine noises. When it comes to maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris from the body, wheels, and couplers. If you notice any issues with the movement or sound, check the connections and the DCC settings. Store the locomotive in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage. Remember, this locomotive follows NMRA DCC standards, so you can use it with other compatible DCC equipment. Have fun running your train and enjoy the realistic experience it offers!
