DCC decoders for Atlas dash 8-40cw Nscale locomotive
Posted by jeffevans on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 10:14 PM

Hi all,

I am new to DCC and was considering buying some Atlas N-scale Dash 8-40CW locomotives but i want to set them up for DCC with sound. My question for anyone kind enough to help me is: do i buy a DCC ready loco and get a seperate decoder with sound OR do i buy a DCC equiped loco and add a sound decoder?? I am unable to find any decoders with sound built into them suitable for the atlas dash 8-40cw. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Your best bet for this is to contact STREAMLINED BACKSHOP: http://www.sbs4dcc.com/ They specialize in decoder sales and installations for all scales. Prices are good too.

Answering a 7-year old+ thread...???...A bit late to help out the OP.  Perhaps it will be useful to someone else...

I look at it this way.  After 7 years of waiting...........and waiting...........and waiting, the OP finally has his answer.   Laugh
