Atlas Master N 40005017 Gold Series ALCo S-4 DCC/ESU Loksound Grand Trunk Western GT #8204

Alco introduced the S-4 in 1950. The S-4 like the earlier S-2 was a 1000 horsepower switcher. Some 636 S-4’s were built for North American railroads. The primary quick spotting difference between the S-1/S-2 and the S-3/S-4 can be seen in the trucks. The S-1/S-2 has Blunt trucks, while the S-3/S-4 has AAR-style trucks. The versatility of the S-2’s and S-4’s were evidenced by their service in mainline railroads, shortlines, and industrials.

**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.
