I just got myself a Digitrax SDN144A0. It is made for an Altas N scale GP38. It also fits an Intermountain SD40 (which is what I have) and it also fits an Atlas Dash-8 (which I also have), as they have all the same footprint for the dropin decoder power pickup tabs. I installed it last night in about 15 minutes - the process was easy. But I haven't powered it up yet.

Hello,

I have a question about sound decoders. I am wanting to put a sound decoder in a Atlas GP 38-2. In searching online I mostly run across one that will work in GP 38's.  Will that work in a GP 38-2. Will a GP 38 sound decoder work in a GP38-2?  Thanks.

Curt
