The ATLAS Trainman 40004989 EMD GP15-1 Conrail locomotive in N Scale with Standard DC is a must - have for model train enthusiasts. It's painted in blue with a white sill. Note that the pictures might show a different road number. Built from 1976 to 1982, this 4 - axle diesel locomotive is powered by a 12 - cylinder EMD 645E engine that churns out 1,500hp. It was widely used as a light road or yard switcher, and 310 units were built for American railroads. Key features include scale - accurate dimensions and details, directional lighting, DCC readiness, blackened metal wheels, a 5 - pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels and a low - friction mechanism, and factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Using your ATLAS Trainman EMD GP15 - 1 Conrail locomotive is easy. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. Then, place the locomotive on the track and power on your DC power supply. The directional lighting will automatically turn on based on the direction of movement. When you're done using it, turn off the power and store it in a dry place. For maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep them running smoothly. Check the couplers occasionally to ensure they're in good condition. If you plan to upgrade to DCC, the locomotive is already DCC ready, but it's recommended to have a professional install the DCC system. Also, avoid exposing the locomotive to extreme temperatures as it may damage the motor and other components.
