Ok, if i have the Atlas Quantum Engineer for DC, this means that i can get an engine from lets say Proto and it has sound and DCC and i can have all of the sounds that a normal DCC set up would have?


the reason im asking this is because...i have absolutly NO idea about DCC. alls i know is you can use a wireless control instead of a DC power pack to run the loco and it allows you to run more than one loco at a time with no loss in power.


so, if i have a Proto 2000 loco, and the QE, i'll have all of the sounds of a regular DCC system?
 
Basically correct. Here are the limitations of the system from the Atlas web site:

"The Quantum Engineer will only operate sound locomotives that include the latest QSI technology. This technology is included in all Atlas, Life-Like/Proto 2000 and Hobbycraft Canada sound-equipped locomotives. The more recent locomotive releases from Broadway Limited Imports (BLI) can also be operated; this includes the PRR K-4, EMD E-series passenger units, EMD SD40-2, C&O T-1, EMD switchers, etc. BLI locomotive releases previous to these, as well as the Lionel Challenger and Turbine will not operate with the Quantum Engineer."
