Using this Atlas EMD GP40 - 2 CSX #6221 model is easy. For DCC operation, it supports all programming modes. Just set up your DCC system and use the flexible mapping of function keys from F0 to F28. On an analog (DC) layout, you can use it too, but remember the Atlas Quantum Engineer won't work with the LokSound Select decoder on DC. Also, on a DC - powered layout, don't try to couple it with a locomotive that doesn't have both DCC and sound. When it comes to sound, you can choose from over 20 sound effects, 16 horns, 2 bells, and 2 synchronized brake squeals. For maintenance, keep it clean. Wipe off dust regularly from the body, underframe, and details like the handrails. If you have undecorated units, handle the separate parts carefully during assembly. Store it in a dry place to prevent any damage to the delicate parts like the LEDs and the motor.
