Hey everyone, I have several Atlas Premier diesel engines, I believe they all have PS3 sound. Are these engines compatible with the MTH DCS system or another DCC sytem, or are they just conventional engines with sound? I've been trying to figure out the best way to run them on my Legacy/DCS controlled layout.
Thanks for the input,
Jim

They're obviously compatible with MTH DCS, and you can also run them using DCC if your layout is so equipped. I'm assuming since you have Legacy/DCS, run them with DCS, MTH supplies the standard PS/3 boards to Atlas, so they're run like MTH engines.
Thanks John for the reply- so if they are obviously compatible with MTH DCS, shouldn't the DCS system see them as an engine to add like other MTH engines? I tried to add an Atlas Ferromex SD70 to the TIU and later the WTIU and had no success. That's the main reason I bought the new Atlas engines-I assumed they would be plug and play with MTH DCS. Maybe it relates to the other issue I'm having with using the WTIU with Lionel Legacy Base 3.

Should be seamless. Make SURE the DCS/DCC switch is actually in DCS. 
It is for sure in the DCS position. Probably something to do with the other issue with the WTIU and ZW-L interference. I may have to go back to the older transformer setup.

I have read about compatibility issues with the WTIU and the ZW-L on other threads on this forum. Could this be your issue?

Did the Atlas engines work with your old transformer setup?
