Atlas has never had any Legacy electronics to my knowledge, and the reason they went with DCS is because it supports DCC and this will likely simplify their manufacturing since only one type of electronics will be needed.
This already exists and it’s called DCC. Manufacturers and O-gauge consumers are just too stubborn to take advantage of it. It is the one thing that has frustrated me about my switch to O-scale from HO.
As far as I know, Legacy still has limited its DCC capability. Lionel may not be advertising it in O but they certainly are in the Legacy equipped American Flyer locomotives.
