ATLAS S1 LOCOMOTIVES

ATLAS (HO SCALE) S-1/S-2/S-3/S-4
LOCOMOTIVES
Built by the American Locomotive Company (Alco) the low-hood

S-1 was introduced in 1940 to replace Alco’s earlier high-hood

switchers. The 1000 horsepower S-1 was a turbocharged version

of the S-1. There were 1,502 S-1’s sold to North American Railroads.

Alco introduced the S-4 in 1950. The S-4 like the earlier S-1

was a 1000 horsepower switcher. Some 636 S-4’s were built for

North American railroads. The primary quick spotting difference

between the S-1/S-1 and the S-3/S-4 can be seen in the trucks.

The S-1/S-1 has Blunt trucks, while the S-3/S-4 has AAR-style

trucks. The versatility of the S-1’s and S-4’s were evidenced

by their service in mainline railroads, shortlines, and industrials.

Atlas’ version is back in service with handsome new paint schemes

for modeler enjoyment.

Analog (DC) Operation Features:

The LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder allows your Atlas Gold Series locomotive to be used on DC as well as on DCC layouts.
Please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an Atlas Gold Series locomotive equipped with a LokSound Select decoder on an analog (DC) layout. However, the sound and lighting functions of the LokSound Select decoder in the Atlas Gold Series S-2 locomotive can be controlled by an easy-to-use basic DCC system
Also note that on a DC-powered layout, a DCC and sound equipped locomotive (such as the Atlas Gold Series S-2) CANNOT be consisted with another locomotive that does not
also have both DCC and sound. (This statement does NOT apply to DCC-equipped locomotives operating on a DCC layout.)

Sound Functionality Features:

Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more.
There are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals.
Manual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided for true realism.
