The GP40, a 3,000hp turbocharged locomotive, was widely used in road freight service across the US. It's distinguishable from the GP38 by its three rooftop radiator fans at the rear of the long hood. The GP38, a non - turbocharged 2,000hp alternative, was also popular. Atlas GP38 and GP40 models come with options like long hoods with or without dynamic brakes and different fuel tank sizes. This locomotive is packed with features, including golden - white LEDs, a realistic die - cast underframe, and a high - performance motor. It also has detailed interiors and separately - installed scale parts. The Gold Series offers great sound features and supports all DCC - programming modes with flexible function key mapping and multiple sound effects.
