Factory installed ESU LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder allows your Atlas Gold Series locomotive to be used on DC as well as DCC layouts. Please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an 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 can be controlled by an easy-to-use basic DCC system. Also note that on a DC-powered layout, a DCC and sound equipped locomotive CANNOT be consisted with another locomotive that does not also have both DCC and sound. This does not apply to DCC-equipped models operating on a DCC layout.
