Coming To The End Of The JMRI Decoder Inventory

One of my last tasks has been to reset the jumpers on all my Atlas locos with the dual mode 4-function decoders to DCC mode, program them to the cab number address, and set CV 2 to a starting voltage where they'll start rolling slowly at speed step 1. The value here varies widely, but it usually has to be between 20 and 50. On a few locos, it was so high that I really had to increase the speed steps in testing to verify that the decoder was working at all.

A bonus was that I also shot photos of them for the roster entries. Here are a few:

Since the locos all had factory installed decoders that only needed to have the jumper moved to convert to DCC, this was a big result with little effort and no cost.

Atlas offered these in the mid 2000s but no longer includes them.
