Atlas O Morristown and Erie C424 questions

U Userj8670OGR Forum Member
I recently acquired morristown and erie #19 and was wondering if anyone knew if I could add sounds and lights to it and a motor.  Forgive me if this had been brought up before but I am new here.  Ideally maybe add legacy(?) as the sounds on the new C420s are amazing!

P.s. Also If anyone wants to sell #18 please contact me!

You may want to talk to Atlas about powering the unit. There were some issues a few years ago about non-powered Atlas units.    Weaver models does several upgrades, I'd check Weaver also.  Weaver ERR/TMCC upgrade.  

Consider this non powered unit a conventional diesel.  Weaver install is $250, you would still have to add the motors. 

This isn't my Atlas unit, but Weaver did an EOB upgrade a few years ago.  It was an early issue Dash 8 conventional cab that had a SAW Gen II  mother board that had some issues.  They did a mother board change out using the existing Lionel boards.

We did some lighting detail later.

Should include Railsounds but not the better grade of Legacy.    Is installing legacy an option?  I don't believe Legacy is available as upgrade kits.

Thanks again!
