Dave, I reckon it really is a design fault with the Atlas locomotives. There must be a knack of assembling them on their assembly line which...
Dave, Did you apply insulating tape on the frame sides next to the motor contact strips? Your experience seems very similar to mine with another...
Mark, Another thing I was trying out to improve the situation was limiting the movement of the non-knuckle part of the coupler by attaching a...
I've just checked the MT web site and I find that the body mount couplers I would want to use on my freight stock are all RDA - i.e. 1015, 1016,...
Tony, I think you have just explained the problem I've been having for the past two years - trying to get MT couplers to work reliably under...
I don't know the Atlas U23B loco, but I have several other Atlas DCC fitted locos and one problem point can be with the spring contacts from the...

Russ, The dimensions of your frogs and the tyre width and flange width of your wheels should be designed to match to avoid dropping in. The...

I got my first TCS decoder a week or so ago and fitted it to a Trainman GP15-1 and got similar problems when trying to use the speed tables. I...
I've now found the entry in the Atlas online catalogue. It's in the N Scale C420 Locomotive Parts section. Here's the URL of the "More Info"...
I just got a response back from Steve Millenbach in the Atlas Parts Dept. today. They are putting the PCB contacts in their online catalogue....
I've just found out that the small clips that Atlas are using to make good contact between light/decoder boards and the frame sides are called...
I've just fitted a TCS ASD4 to a Trainman GP15-1 and I used small strips of 20thou styrene to tighten up the contacts and fitted them on the top...
Didn't the Kon-Tiki travel in the other direction. :tb-biggrin: Jim.
You might have to dress the ends of your points with a needle file to make them a bit finer (sharper). Fine scale wheel flanges are much more...
Mike, I'm going to try something else. I've managed to decant about 1/8" of graphite into a clear capsule that MT use to hold the springs in...
