Atlas Master HO 10003752 Gold Series EMD SD-24 Low Nose DCC/ESU Loksound Santa Fe ATSF #976
With over 220 units produced by EMD between July 1958 and March 1963, the SD-24 locomotive generated a total of 2,400 hp with its turbocharged 567D-3 prime mover and C-C wheel arrangement.
The majority of SD-24s produced were purchased by four roads: Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Santa Fe, Southern, and Union Pacific. Atlas’ HO scale model features details unique to each road name:
- Burlington ‘CB&Q’: High nose, single-chime air horn on short hood, Gyra-light on short hood, non-operating, winterization hatch
- Santa Fe: Low nose, 3-chime horn mounted on left side of hood behind cab
- Southern: High nose, 5-chime horn mounted on cab, bell detail on short hood
- Union Pacific: Low nose, 3-chime horn mounted between 2nd and 3rd radiator fans, winterization hatch
Features:
- Separately-applied roof piping detail
- Golden-white LEDs
- Realistic die-cast underframe
- Five-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds
- Directional lighting
- Factory-equipped with AccuMate knuckle couplers
- Painted crew figures
- Separately-installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails
- Highly detailed coupler cut bars
- Multiple unit hoses and trainline hoses
- Piping on trucks
Atlas Master Silver Series Additional Features:
- NMRA 8-pin plug for DCC Decoder-ready
Atlas Master Gold Series Additional Features:
- Electronic Dual-Mode Decoder ‘e-DMD’ that allows your locomotive to run in DCC or traditional DC**
QSI Quantum System Features (Atlas Master Series Gold locomotives only):
- Dual speaker system
- Authentic diesel engine sounds
- Squealing brakes
- Doppler effect
- Air let-off in neutral
- Coupler impact sounds when operated with DCC
- Helper mode that mutes the whistle and bell for double heading
Note: Due to the higher starting voltage required to operate the sound system, it is not possible to MU a non-sound-equipped loco in analog DC mode.
**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.
