Atlas Master N 40005187 Gold Series GE DASH 8-40BW Locomotive with Pilot Mounted Ditch Lights DCC/ESU Loksound BNSF 'late swoosh-Wedge Logo' BNSF #529

Prototype Information: 

Built in the late 1980s by GE, the DASH 8-40B diesel locomotives were identified by their dynamic brake gear located along the roof line between the cab and engine compartment, with ventilation provided by large roof-top grilles. These four-axle, high horsepower engines are still in service today in North America.

Model Features:

  • Directional lighting
  • Painted safety rails
  • Blackened metal wheels
  • Factory-equipped with AccuMate knuckle couplers
  • Scale Speed motor
  • Golden-white LEDs
  • Standard cab or gull wing cab as appropriate
  • Two versions: Gold Series Decoder-equipped (ESU Loksound) or Silver Series non-decoder equipped**

**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.

  • Review of Atlas Master GE Dash 8-40BW
    5

    Posted by Terry Heiland on Sep 19th 2024

    Let me first say, I am going from DC to DCC and bought this engine, along with a different Atlas engine, to add to my layout. Here are couple of my thoughts.
    * Operates well on my track, no derailments. Somewhat jerky as I found problems with my track and cleaning the rails. Can't blame the engine.
    * The cover for the tanks on the underside that also includes the speaker has a very close tolerance with the rails. Engine would stop moving and get hung up on the underside when going over a hump in the track. All fixed by smoothing out my track.
    * Bright headlight and ditch lights.
    * Excellent slow movement.
    I was just not ready to have to do some track maintenance. Initially I was disappointed in my choice of engines until I realized that my track was the problem. Once corrected, it made all the difference in my opinion of this engine.
    Would buy this again.
