The Atlas Gold 40005418 N Scale model represents the FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster of Canadian Pacific #8917, equipped with DCC and Sound features. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Fairbanks-Morse advertised the H24-66 Train Master as 'the most useful locomotive ever built' when it was first introduced in 1953. This versatile locomotive was used for both passenger and freight services across the US. It was the most powerful single-engine locomotive at that time, generating 2,400 hp. Key features include large number boards and a single headlight at the ends, golden-white LED lights, 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, DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, offers flexible function key mapping, has 6 function outputs that can be individually mapped, and follows NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound features over 20 sound effects like engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds, bell, air horn, and more. There are also multiple user-selectable horns, bells, and synchronized brake squeals, along with manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using your N Scale Atlas Gold model train is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up and powered on. You can use the DCC controller to operate the train, adjusting its speed and direction easily. The locomotive supports different programming modes, so you can customize its settings according to your needs. When it comes to sound, simply select your favorite horn, bell, or other sound effects from the available options. As for maintenance, keep the locomotive clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Check the wheels regularly to ensure they are free of dirt and debris. If you notice any issues with the DCC or sound functionality, refer to the user manual or contact our customer support. Remember, this model is delicate, so handle it with care to avoid any damage.
