@Lou N posted:And to answer the question: WHY?........This locomotive was equipped with a remote control system called Loco-Matic. It was designed by and still available from Dallee Electronics. It runs on a base frequency of 200kHz. The components keep the motor noise from getting into the decoder electronics as well as signal loss in the motor and drive components.

That's Lou,
Follow up question... I'm going to remove all of the Atlas/Dallee Electronics and put in a BlueRail command and control board. The engine will still run on AC track power. Would you suggest I leave those components wired in or remove them?
