This ATLAS Trainman 40004993 model is an N scale, standard DC representation of the EMD GP15-1 locomotive, specifically UP Union Pacific #733. It features a striking color combination of yellow, red, and gray with the iconic Baby Wings design (note that pictures might show a different road number). Built from 1976 to 1982, the real - life EMD GP15 - 1 was a 4 - axle diesel locomotive powered by a 12 - cylinder EMD 645E engine that produced 1,500hp. It was widely used as a light road switcher or yard switcher, and 310 units were built for American railroads. The model comes with great features like scale dimensions and details, directional lighting, DCC readiness, blackened metal wheels, a dual flywheel - equipped 5 - pole skewed armature motor with low friction, and factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Using this ATLAS train model is a breeze. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. Then, place the locomotive on the track and power on your DC power source. You can control the speed and direction of the train with the power controller. As for the directional lighting, it will automatically adjust based on the direction the train is moving. When using this model, avoid placing it on wet or dirty tracks as this may affect its performance. Also, don't apply excessive force when coupling or uncoupling cars to prevent damage to the AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. For maintenance, regularly clean the locomotive's wheels with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Check the motor and electrical connections periodically to ensure they are in good condition. Store the locomotive in a dry and cool place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
