I have a Conrail SD40 from the last SD40 run and love it.I bought an SD40-2 and had to rewire it.Took me about 15 minutes with a soldering iron.Now it runs great.My Atlas Kato units I have all run great.They are now over 10 yrs old.Kato is a reliable product and just like anything else there are lemons.I would contact Kato and see what they say about your problems.Athearn is also a nice product but comes up short when compared to Kato.Atlas I believe are the best for the money and detail.But that Kato motor beats them all.Dan
