Atlas N Scale EMD GP39-2 Phase II (DCC/LokSound) BNSF Railway (Wedge Logo) #2711

The GP39-2 was offered by EMD as a fuel-efficient alternative to their very popular GP38-2 model. This efficiency resulted from the use of a turbocharged 12-cylinder 645E3 diesel engine, as opposed to the non-turbocharged 16-cylinder prime mover in the GP38-2. The use of a turbocharger increased the horsepower output from 2,000 to 2,300hp with four fewer cylinders. One other benefit of the turbocharger is improved operation at higher altitudes where thin air causes normally-aspirated diesels to lose power and produce excess smoke. The largest original fleet of GP39-2s was assembled by the Santa Fe who, over the course of seven years, acquired a total of 106 units Features: • Golden-white LEDs • Painted safety rails • Directional lighting • Blackened metal wheels • Scale Speed™ motor • Factory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers • Atlas Master® Gold version features ESU LokSound Decoder • Supports all DCC-programming modes • DCC includes RailCom and RailComPlus, with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps and with 2-digit and 4-digit addressing. • Flexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28. • A total of 6 DCC function outputs are available, and all can be function mapped (disable, brightness, light effects) individually • Follows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices. • Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more. • There are up to 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals. • Manual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided for true realism. • Equipped with ESU's Exclusive "Full Throttle" features for ultimate realism in prototype running.
