What decoder for Atlas S2 locomotives?

I have not seen anything at TCS for these locomotives.

I prefer not to use Digitrax decoders. They do not play well with no RailCom on my ESU system.

Thanks!

 

Check out the ESU line of decoders, Railcom friendly.

 

ESU does not make a decoder for this locomotive as a drop in

 

Do you want sound or not?

If not, see this thread: https://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/atlas-alco-s2-n-scale-dcc-installation.141338/

 

I have a TCS Non-Sound in my HO Atlas S2. Put this in and added a "Keep Alive" as well. Runs great. Here's a link to the TCS page for this installation: https://drupal.tcsdcc.com/installation/ho-scale/1900

 

I am in N scale not HO.

 

Understood. Check this out from Trainboard from 2015. Seems a TCS EUN651 "might" work depending on the pins in your particular engine. TCS still has this decoder available according to their website.
