ATLAS Gold 40005244 presents the EMD SD60M locomotive of Norfolk Southern #6945. It comes in black and white with PTC Antenna Detail, ditch lights, DCC, and sound in N Scale. Note that pictures might show a different road number. The EMD SD - 50, introduced in the 1980s, had a 16 - cylinder, 3500 h.p. engine. Its longer frame relocated dynamic brake resistors. The SD - 60, visually similar, replaced the 645F engine with the 710G. You can tell them apart by door panels. The 'wide nose' cab was an option in 1988, with design changes in 1991. This model features deck or pilot - mounted ditch lights, directional lighting, separate plow and winterization hatch, blackened wheels, a slower - speed motor, AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers, and golden - white LEDs. Gold locomotives support all DCC - programming modes, include RailCom and RailComPlus, and have flexible function key mapping. They offer over 20 sound effects and ESU’s 'Full Throttle' features for a realistic experience. AccuMate® couplers are licensed from AccuRail, Inc.

Using this N Scale ATLAS Gold EMD SD60M locomotive is easy. First, connect it to your DCC system according to the instructions. You can then use the DCC controller to operate it.

Remember, this locomotive is a delicate model. Handle it gently to avoid damage. Keep it away from dust and moisture to ensure its long - term performance. If you want to clean it, use a soft brush to remove dust. For more complex maintenance, it's recommended to consult the official service or a professional modeler.
