The Quantum 1a (Q1a) system is similar to the Q1 System. Both use the same hardware and the same basic Analog Operation. Q1a differs from Q1 with the inclusion of new features: New Features The following are changes in Quantum software that have not been available to any OEM equipped locomotive but will be available to OEM's
