The Atlas Gold 40005412 presents an N scale FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster locomotive, specifically for RDG Reading #806, equipped with DCC and sound capabilities. Please note that the picture might show a different road number. Advertised by Fairbanks - Morse as 'the most useful locomotive ever built', the H24 - 66 Train Master made its debut in 1953. A versatile locomotive with various equipment options, it served both passenger and freight services across the US and was the most powerful single - engine locomotive at that time, boasting 2,400 hp. Key features include large number boards and a single headlight at the ends, golden - white LED's, directional lighting, painted safety rails, etched metal grilles, blackened metal wheels, a scale speed motor, and factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. For GOLD LOCOMOTIVES manufactured in 2022 or later, the DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, 6 DCC function outputs that can be individually mapped, and adheres to all NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects, up to 16 user - selectable horns, 2 user - selectable bells, 2 user - selectable synchronized brake squeals, and both manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using this N scale Atlas Gold locomotive is easy. First, make sure it's properly connected to your DCC system if you're using DCC operation. You can start and stop the locomotive just like a real one, and enjoy the sound effects it offers. When it comes to choosing the horns, bells, and other sounds, you can easily select your favorites according to your preference. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to gently remove dust from the body, especially from the etched metal grilles. Check the wheels regularly to ensure they're running smoothly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and moisture. If you need to change the programming of the DCC functions, follow the instructions in the DCC system manual. And remember, the picture might show a different road number, so don't be surprised if it doesn't match exactly with the model you receive.
