FAQ

Will it fit my locomotive?
The A6X drops into many Atlas, Athearn, and Kato HO diesels (for example Athearn F59PHI/F3; Atlas RS-1/RS-3/RS-11/C424/GP7; Kato GP35). Check the TCS drop-in chart for your exact model.

Does it include sound?
No — the A6X is a motor and function (mobile) decoder, not a sound decoder. For sound, see the TCS WOW series.

A6X or A4X?
Choose the A6 for up to six functions or the integrated 1.5V bulb supply; the A4X covers four-function installs.
