Hi
I have an Atlas U25B and a Life-like RS-2
I want to put sound decoders in these engines, which ones should I get?
Thanks

I have a P1K RSC-3, which is similar to your RS-2. I put a Soundtraxx decoder in it, and I was pretty happy with it. The hard part is probably going to be the speaker, not the decoder. There wasn't a lot of space in mine, and I had to grind down the frame to fit the speaker and baffle box inside.
The P1K unit is an older one, and it came hard-wired for DC. So, adding the decoder was a solder job, not a plug-in. I also swapped out the incandescent bulbs for golden-white LEDs, which was a big improvement. Don't forget the 1K resistors if you do this.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
My RS-1 is from Atlas / Kato. I've use Loksound. Here's my HowTo.

Art,
What 'scale' are you talking about? You mention an Atlas U25B, and all I can remember is the 'N' scale one.
