The Atlas Gold 40005375 EMD GP9 locomotive in N scale, featuring torpedo tubes and numbered Wabash #495, comes with DCC and sound capabilities. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Introduced in 1949, the Electro-Motive 1500hp GP - 7 combined F7 machinery with a hood - type carbody for high visibility and easy engine access. It could pull all kinds of trains and sometimes replaced part of cab units. The GP - 9, with a 1750hp engine, looks similar to the GP - 7. Key features include a powered low - friction drive, blackened metal wheels, dual brass flywheels, directional lighting with golden - white LEDs, and AccuMate® couplers. For gold locomotives, DCC operation supports all programming modes, includes RailCom and RailComPlus with various speed steps and addressing options, has flexible function key mapping, 6 DCC function outputs, and follows NMRA DCC standards. The ESU LokSound offers over 20 sound effects like engine start - up, prime mover sounds, bell, air horn, etc., with multiple user - selectable horns, bells, and brake squeals, and manual and automatic notching modes for a realistic experience.

Using your Atlas Gold 40005375 EMD GP9 locomotive is a breeze. First, make sure your DCC system is set up properly. If you're using the DCC functions, you can easily program it according to your needs. When you power it on, enjoy the realistic engine start - up sound. The directional lighting will automatically adjust based on the locomotive's movement. To keep it in top shape, regularly clean the blackened metal wheels with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. For the DCC and sound components, don't expose them to extreme temperatures or moisture. When not in use, store the locomotive in a cool, dry place. If you want to change the sound effects or the notching mode, refer to the user - selectable options in the ESU LokSound features. Have fun running your train and creating amazing layouts!
