I run Athearn locomotives on my layout with the factory installed Tsunami sound decoders. Currently looking at an Atlas MP15DC with a factory installed Quantum sound decoder.

I don't have any experience with Quantum decoders and looking for feedback on the sound quality and correct sound match to the prototype.

I'm looking for a sound decoder for a Walthers gas-electric, sometimes referred to as a "Doodlebug." Tsunami  has a sound file for the RGS "Galloping Goose", however that vehicle is powered directly by the gas engine whereas the doodlebug gas engine drove a generator that powered traction motors on each truck.

Hello everyone.  Does anyone know how to change the headlight configuration on an Atlas RS1?  My RS3's have both headlights on all the time with one light going to bright when moving either in forward or reverse while the other end stays dim.  My Atlas RS1 has one headlight on and it goes to bright when moving but the other end goes off and comes on when changing direction (the other end then goes off).  I want both ends on all the time with one light going to bright and the other staying dim when moving in forward or reverse.

After scratching some buildings and doing some rolling stock kits, I've decided to set myself the challenge of building some kind of MOW stock, starting with a rtr item as a base and working from there. 

Originally I had the idea of doing a jordan spreader or russel plow, but these are beyond me at present because of the complex hydraulics on the jordan and the particular curves on the russell. They can wait a few months or years until I can do them justice.
