Atlas HO Switcher Decoder to Debut

We are soon releasing another Tony's special PnP decoder for the popular series Atlas HO scale Alco S- Switchers. While generic format decoders can be used, the installations required frame milling and other modifications. The new PnP format represents the cleanest, simplest option available and will still require some wiring.

Production units will be available in several weeks in time for the next locomotive release from Atlas due this month.

The AtlasSW decoder, as we have named it, is a joint development effort of Tony's and NCE Corp. and will be manufactured by NCE and also marketed by them as ATLS4. The performance will be similar to this family of decoders; full advanced format, silent running and special effects.
