The brand new Atlas Genset is reported in various forums to have no space for a H0 size decoder. A proposed circumvention is the installation of a N-size decoder.
That is true but can be fixed in three minutes.
The DC version of the Genset has two huge 100 10-9 Farad capacitors parallel to the motor stored under the short hood weight. A first test with temporary plugged in decoders (Zimo MX630 and ESU Lokpilot) gave horrible results at low speed. That is quite normal with that huge capacitors exceeding everything I have ever seen for RFI purposed.
Simply remove the capacitors and install the decoder UNDER the short hood weight at the place the capacitors have been installed before.
No more space problems and the Atlas engine runs as smooth like all the Atlas engines no
