Discover the Atlas Gold 40005411 FM H - 24 - 66 Phase 1A Trainmaster in N Scale, Reading Railroad #804 with DCC and Sound. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The H24 - 66 Train Master, advertised by Fairbanks - Morse as 'the most useful locomotive ever built', was launched in 1953. This versatile locomotive with various equipment options was used for both passenger and freight services across the US. It 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 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 made in 2022 or later, the DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with multiple speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, 6 function outputs that can be individually mapped, and follows all NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects like engine start - up and shutdown, prime mover sounds, bell, air horn, etc., 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 FM H - 24 - 66 Phase 1A Trainmaster is easy. First, make sure your DCC system is set up correctly. Connect the locomotive to the track and power it on. You can use the DCC controller to operate the locomotive, controlling its speed and direction. To enjoy the sound features, just select the appropriate sound effects from the options available on your DCC system. When using the locomotive, be careful not to apply excessive force when handling it to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the etched metal grilles and the magnetic knuckle couplers. For maintenance, regularly clean the locomotive with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Check the wheels periodically to make sure they are rotating smoothly. If you notice any issues with the DCC or sound functions, refer to the DCC system's manual or contact customer support.
