ATLAS 10001459 HO Scale RS-1 SI 1218 (Spokane International) Locomotive w/LokSound
Product Description
Historical Information: 4-axle 1000 hp RS-1 diesel-electric locomotives were produced by ALCO between 1941 and 1960.
Atlas HO scale RS-1 Classic Gold is LokSound DCC/Sound equipped. Its many features also include a die-cast metal chassis and fine scale handrails, golden white LEDs, separately-applied wire grab irons, coupler cut bars, train line hoses, and lift rings, accurate painting and printing, AccuMate® couplers, realistic die-cast mainframe, five-pole skewed armature motor with dual-flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds, and directional lighting.
LokSound features include a dual-mode decoder that allows your locomotive to be used on DC as well as on DCC layouts. Sound functionality includes over 20 sound effects (including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more), 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals. Also featured are manual and automatic notching modes with the ability to change modes on the fly for true realism.
Please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an Atlas Gold Series locomotive equipped with a LokSound Select decoder on an analog (DC) layout. However, the sound and lighting functions of the LokSound Select decoder in the Atlas Gold Series RS-1 locomotive can be controlled by an easy-to-use basic DCC system.
Also note that on a DC-powered layout, a DCC and sound equipped locomotive CANNOT be consisted with another locomotive that does not also have both DCC and sound. (This statement does NOT apply to DCC-equipped locomotives operating on a DCC layout.)
