Review ATLAS Ready Special Emd 230 Broc Dcc Scale Ho Nose

The Atlas O-Scale EMD GP40-230 Locomotive (10001736) is a highly detailed and intricately crafted model that will add a touch of realism to any O-scale railroad layout. This locomotive is based on the EMD GP40-230, a popular and powerful diesel-electric locomotive that was widely used in the United States from the 1960s to the 1980s.

The Atlas GP40-230 O-scale locomotive features a die-cast metal frame and body, which provides excellent weight and stability on the track. The locomotive is equipped with a powerful five-pole motor, which allows for smooth and quiet operation, as well as excellent pulling power. The locomotive also features directional lighting, which includes headlights, marker lights, and taillights, as well as realistic engine sounds.

One of the standout features of this locomotive is its highly detailed and accurate paint scheme. The GP40-230 was available in a wide variety of liveries, and Atlas has captured the essence of several popular versions in their O-scale model. The model features realistic paint and decals, including weathering and rust effects, which give the locomotive a worn and well-used appearance that adds to its authenticity.

The Atlas GP40-230 locomotive is also equipped with a variety of operating features that make it a fun and engaging model to operate. The locomotive features a working horn, which can be activated by pressing a button on the locomotive or by use of a DCC sound decoder. The locomotive also features a working dynamic brake system, which can be activated by pressing a button on the locomotive or by use of a DCC control system.

Overall, the Atlas O-Scale EMD GP40-230 Locomotive (10001736) is a highly detailed and intricately crafted model that will add a touch of realism to any O-scale railroad layout. With its powerful five-pole motor, directional lighting, and realistic paint scheme, this locomotive is sure to be a favorite of any railroad enthusiast.

1. Detailed and Accurate: The model is highly detailed and accurately represents the real-life GP40 locomotive, including the Brocade paint scheme.

2. High Quality: Atlas is known for producing high-quality models, and this one is no exception. It features die-cast metal construction and working knuckle couplers.

3. Functional: The locomotive has a realistic sound system and working headlight, adding to the overall experience of operating the model.

4. Collectible: The Brocade paint scheme is a rare and desirable one, making this model a valuable addition to any HO scale train collection.

1. Price: The model is on the expensive side, which may be a deterrent for some hobbyists.

2. Size: The HO scale is smaller than some other scales, which may make the locomotive look less impressive on larger layouts.

3. Maintenance: As with any model train, regular maintenance is required to keep it running smoothly, which can be time-consuming and expensive.

If you are a serious model train hobbyist with a passion for the GP40 locomotive and the Brocade paint scheme, the Atlas EMD GP40 230 Broc Scale HO Nose is a worthy investment. It is a highly detailed and accurate model that is built to last. However, if you are new to model trains or have a limited budget, you may want to consider starting with a less expensive or larger scale model.

If you decide to purchase the Atlas EMD GP40 230 Broc Scale HO Nose, I recommend investing in a good quality track system to ensure smooth operation. You may also want to consider purchasing additional rolling stock to complete your HO scale layout. With proper care and maintenance, this model should provide you with many hours of enjoyment and add value to your collection.

Details:

The four axle gp38 was rated at 2,000 hp and had the advantage of costing less than the GP40. Concurrent with GP40 production, emd offered a lower horsepower, non turbocharged locomotive based on the same 645 series prime mover. A total of 1,145 units were produced between 1966 and both units shared the same emd road switcher body that was introduced with the gp35 in features golden white leds realistic die cast under frame five pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds directional lighting factory equipped with accurate knuckle couplets detailed cab interior with crew separately installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails movable drop steps walkway safety tread couplet cut bars multiple unit hoses and train line hoses snowplow. A desire for standardization caused the gp38 to share the same wheelbase, frame and many external components as the GP40.

The gp38 was purchased by large and small roads alike. Many gp38s and 40s are still in service today. Options on the Atlas gp38 and GP40 model's include a long hood with or without dynamic brakes and an under frame with 2,600 or 3,600 gallon fuel tanks.

A total of 727 units were produced between 1966 and 1971 when the model was superseded. Three rooftop radiator fans at the rear of the long hood differentiate a GP40 from its lower horsepower counterpart, the gp38, which has two fans at this location. The wheelbase of the gp38 was identical to that of the GP40.

The series included a six axle and four axle model, the latter being the GP40.
