my apologies,  it's Kato.

Bruce, don't know what to tell you.  I have a grand total of 27 Kato SD40-2's mid production diesels and I have no problems with resonating or any other noise with them.

 Or even BLI etc.

I suggest showing a pic.  That with the road number usually tells.

 How old is it?  I'm not aware of any recent SD40-2's from atlas.

There is however a thread that was running today regarding noisy Atlas loco's

the shell (?) of this loco resonates or vibrates when running. Has anyone else had this problem, and has been able to rectify it ?  Thx
