The Atlas Gold 40005404 is an N scale model of the FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster, Erie Lackawanna #1854, with DCC and sound. 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. It was a versatile locomotive used in both passenger and freight services across the US and was the most powerful single-engine locomotive at that time, producing 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 (2022 or later), the DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with various speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, 6 available function outputs, and follows NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects, up to 16 user - selectable horns, 2 user - selectable bells, 2 user - selectable synchronized brake squeals, and both manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using this locomotive is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly. Connect the locomotive to the track and power on the system. You can start programming the locomotive using the DCC features right away. When using the sound functions, simply press the corresponding function keys on your DCC controller to enjoy different sound effects like the engine start - up or the air horn. As for the speed, you can adjust it smoothly using the speed steps available in the DCC system. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. Use a soft brush to remove any dust from the body, especially from the etched metal grilles. Check the wheels regularly for any dirt or debris that might affect the movement. If the locomotive has been used for a long time, lubricate the moving parts gently with a suitable lubricant. When not in use, store it in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage. Also, be careful when handling the locomotive to avoid any accidental drops or impacts that could damage the delicate parts like the LED lights or the magnetic knuckle couplers.
