Atlas Master N 40004195 Silver Series DCC Ready GE Dash 8-40CW Locomotive CSX-Style Cab and Body Undecorated

The 4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up to the successful Dash 8-40C locomotive. The most distinguishing feature of this model was the introduction of GE’s version of the wide-nose 'North American Safety Cab.' This style of cab would become a common sight on railroads across the country. Four major railroads purchased the Dash 8-40CW in fairly large quantities, including Conrail, CSX, Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Most of these units are still in regular mainline and heavy-haul freight service today. Due to various mergers, they can also be seen operating for new owners Norfolk Southern and BNSF.

Features:

• Separate coupler cut lever
• Directional lighting
• Golden white LEDs
• Painted safety rails
• Blackened metal wheels
• Dual flywheel equipped 5-pole skewed armature motor with a low friction mechanism
• Factory-installed AccuMate magnetic knuckle couplers

SILVER SOUND READY FEATURES (SILVER LOCMOTIVES ONLY):

• Sound ready & equipped with speaker for easy conversion to DCC sound.

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
