Yay, I've got everything working now! 
I bought a new transformer which has solved the problem of having power going to the track when the controller is in stopped position.
I continued my trial-and-error testing and found out that both turnout motors are fine. The problem was with one of the Atlas button/panels where some extra glue had seeped into one of the terminals. I simply cleaned out this area using a screwdriver and now both turnout motors are able to function fine!
Now I'm going to just test out everything as I know problems can suddenly recur or new ones can start -- don't want to start celebrating too much yet!
The good thing about learning things the hard way is that they really stick in your memory!
Thanks for all of your feedback.
