Add strobe light Atlas gold
Posted by jlrc47 on Monday, June 1, 2009 8:38 PM

I have a Atlas Gold DASH 8-40BW. I would like to add strobe lights and can see where the front light wires plug in there is open pins. Can lights be added?

Note: my engine has no ditch lights and was an undecorated unit.

 

Thanks Joe

I'm not familiar with the decoder in those units, but if all else fails you can simply add a tiny single function decoder to control the light.

Here is one that is made by Digitrax: TL1

You can ask the same question on the Atlas forums.  The decoders are quantum Q1A's

I have a few and love them.

Thanks for the replys. I have tried to post on Atlas forums but have not been successful on joining.

I am looking into the TL1 and like decoders. The TL1 would do the trick.

Thanks Joe
