Lionel SC-1 With Atlas Switches
Posted by jmpmap on Monday, July 12, 2004 12:08 PM
After tearing down my old Lionel Layout, which used Lionel track, I am in the process of building my new layout using Atlas Switches. I learned that the SC-1 is not compatable with Atlas. I would like to use the SC-1 Switch controllers in order to save a little money. Is there a way to make them work? Thanks.

Not that I know of.
The Atlas switches tend to burn out the SC-1.
You can use the SC-1 for DZ-1000 sw motors or low draw (under 5a) ACC's.
For the Atlas sw's use the ASC (http://www.lionel.com/Products/Findex.cfm)
or the SC-2 (http://www.lionel.com/Products/Findex.cfm)
