- please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will not operate on 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 GP38/40 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 model (such as the Atlas Gold Series GP38/40) cannot be consisted with another model that does not also have both DCC and sound. This statement does not apply to DCC equipped models operating on a DCC layout.
