The Athearn Genesis Katy 1612 Tender with the ATF Decoder and Sound System is equipped with the ATF's ATH98283 decoder, which provides a wide range of features and functions. The decoder enables the tender to operate with DCC-equipped locomotives, allowing for smooth and precise operation of the tender on the tracks. The decoder also provides realistic sound effects, including engine noises, air horns, and other sounds that add to the overall realism of the tender.

The sound system on the Katy 1612 tender is powered by an ESU LokSound 5.0 sound decoder, which provides high-quality, digitally recorded sounds that accurately replicate the sounds of the original tender. The sound system includes a wide range of sounds, including engine noises, air horns, and other sounds that add to the overall realism of the tender.
