Discover the Atlas Gold 40005451 GE B23 - 7 Conrail locomotive #1925 in N scale. It features a beautiful blue and white paint job. Please note that the picture might show a different road number. General Electric's 'Dash 7' locomotive line replaced the older 'Universal - Series' from the 60s and early 70s. The B23 - 7 offered increased fuel efficiency, tractive effort, and reliability, replacing the 2,250HP U23B. Conrail was the biggest buyer, with 141 units in its fleet. The B23 - 7 has unique features, like a long hood that steps out near the exhaust stack for an oil cooler and a frame 2 feet longer than the U23B. It comes with standard FB - 2 style trucks, though some models may have other types. The six power assembly doors signal a 12 - cylinder GE FDL engine. This locomotive has many great features. It has directional lighting with golden - white LEDs, dual brass flywheels, a low - friction mechanism, and accurate painting and lettering. Factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers are also included. For gold locomotives, it supports all DCC - programming modes, has RailCom and RailComPlus, flexible function key mapping, and 6 DCC function outputs. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects, multiple user - selectable horns, bells, and brake squeals, along with manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using this N scale model train is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly according to the model's DCC operation features. Connect the locomotive to the track and power it on. You can control its speed and direction using your DCC controller, taking advantage of the 14, 28, or 128 speed steps. Use the function keys F0 to F28 to activate different features like lights, horn, and bell. For the sound effects, you can choose from a variety of options for a more realistic experience. When it comes to maintenance, keep the track clean to ensure smooth operation. Regularly check the wheels for any dirt or debris and clean them gently with a soft cloth. If you notice any issues with the sound or DCC functionality, refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer. Store the locomotive in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage to the paint or internal components. Be careful when handling the locomotive to avoid knocking off any of the detailed parts. And that's all you need to know to enjoy your Atlas Gold 40005451 GE B23 - 7 Conrail locomotive.
