no worries Jonte :-) It was not meant to embarrass you, I just realised that my ramblings on how to improve the running of your Athearn, would not work 100% for an Atlas. There are a few constructional differences. Anyway, take a piccie of it's guts, as I am curious if it's a chinese build Atlas, or an Austrian build (by Roco) or other. If it's a Roco build, then you should be able to get a good replacement motor , as Roco is still in business, and you can get / order parts from any dealer that does european outline and sells Roco. Does it have plastic drive shafts from motor to gear tower, or a sort of curled spring?
