Explanation Of Atlas Locomotive Lines

Although this information is available from Atlas not everyone knows where to find it.

Master Series: The top model of Atlas' lines. It is broken down into two categories:
  • Gold – includes sound and a dual mode DCC decoder (will run on DC or DCC)
  • Silver – no sound or DCC decoder, most will have an 8 pin DCC plug included
Classic Line: This line consists of older tooling that has been upgraded with features such as separate grab irons and other minor retooled pieces. These are generally only offered without sound and usually have an 8 pin DCC plug, space permitting.

Trainman: This is Atlas' “budget” line. These use the same drive train as the other lines, but the shells have less separate detail added, and are generally only offered in one or two variations or phases for each model.


If you have an idea for a blog post here, let me know. If I can comment on it, I will or I'll see if someone else can and post it.
