The Atlas Gold 40005407 FM H-24-66 Phase 1A Trainmaster, representing the Central Railroad of New Jersey (#2403), is a top - notch N Scale model 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. This versatile locomotive was used in both passenger and freight services across the US and was the most powerful single - engine locomotive at that time, generating 2,400 hp. Key features include large number boards and a single headlight at the ends, golden - white LED's, 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 made in 2022 or later, DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, and 6 DCC function outputs that can be individually mapped. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects, up to 16 user - selectable horns, 2 user - selectable bells, and 2 user - selectable synchronized brake squeals, along with manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using your Atlas Gold N Scale FM H - 24 - 66 Phase 1A Trainmaster is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly according to the included instructions. Connect the locomotive to the track and power on your system. You can use the DCC controller to operate the locomotive, controlling its speed and direction. For sound effects, use the function keys on your controller to access different sounds like the engine start - up, horn, and bell. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to ensure good electrical contact. Check the couplers periodically to make sure they are working properly. Avoid exposing the locomotive to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues with the DCC or sound functions, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual or contact customer support.
