  • Herb Sr says:

    Sam,Digitrax systems will work with most all decoders.Guess you mean engine decoders, right? I run mrc on my digitrax system… Patrick, no you cannot wire lights to a Atlas powered switch, but you can add a Atlas #150-200 snap relay between switch and lights and make them work.
