GP38-2: More Factory-Installed DCC-Sound Locos from Atlas

Atlas Model Railroad Co. seems to be moving full steam ahead with factory-installed DCC-Sound engines.

Earlier this month, Atlas announced that it will re-release GP38-2 locomotives in new paint schemes / road numbers with and without built-in DCC-Sound functionality. This announcement marks the third Atlas release to include factory-installed sound capabilities. In March, it announced the re-release of C-628 and C-630 locos and previously it produced S2 switchers -- all sound-enabled. Please see our blog, Atlas Continues to Embrace DCC-Sound: C-628/630 Locomotive.
