The ATLAS Gold 40005233 is an N scale EMD SD60M locomotive representing BNSF Railway #1433 in orange, yellow, and black. Note that pictures may show a different road number. In the early 1980s, EMD introduced the SD - 50 with a 16 - cylinder, 3500 h.p. engine. The SD - 60 replaced the aging 645F engine with the 710G. The 'wide nose' or'safety cab' was introduced in 1988 and revised in 1991. This model has many great features. It has deck or pilot - mounted ditch lights as per the prototype, directional lighting, and separate plow and winterization hatch that you can install. The wheels are blackened, and it has a slower - speed motor for more realistic scale speeds. It comes with AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers and golden - white LEDs. For DCC operation (only for gold locomotives), it supports all DCC - programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus, and has flexible function key mapping. There are 6 DCC function outputs that can be individually mapped. It follows all NMRA DCC standards. For sound functionality (also only for gold locomotives), it offers over 20 sound effects like engine start - up and shutdown. There are multiple user - selectable horns, bells, and brake squeals, and it's equipped with ESU’s 'Full Throttle' features for realistic running. AccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.

Using your ATLAS N scale EMD SD60M locomotive is easy. First, make sure it's properly placed on the track. You can control it using a DCC controller that's compatible with the locomotive's DCC features. If you want to add some extra details, you can install the separate plow and winterization hatch. When it comes to the sound, you can choose from various sound effects and user - selectable options to make your model more realistic. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the body and wheels. Make sure to store it in a dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to change the DCC settings, follow the instructions in the DCC - programming guide that comes with the locomotive. And always handle the AccuMate® couplers gently to avoid damage.
