[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Cool Hand George,My old buddy,Need I remind you of the problems some of us has had with the Atlas/Kato locos? What good is all that detail if the locos don't run right? Don't forget the details isn't always right either according to the bashers of products on the Atlas forum. I guess what I am saying all brands have their problems..Sorry George you know that don't cut it with me..I always like to show both sides of the coin..Let the truth be known and all of that happy stuff. [/quote] Well, CH, I personally have not had ANY trouble with either my Atlas nor Kato locos except for one faulty decoder. I do gripe about the paint shade on the Kato. The main problem I know of in the last year with the Atlas Masters was a gear box problem on one batch of GP38/40s. As you know, Atlas finally found the problem and are offering free gear replacements for those units. While it is true that ANY make model loco can have problems, I have had far more problems (both electrical and mechinical) with my Athearns than with any other brand that I own (and I own Athearn BB/Gen, Atlas C/M, LL P2K/P1K, Kato, Stewart and Bachmann locomotives). And the Atlas, LL, Katos and P2Ks (and Athearn Genesis) all run MUCH better than my Athearn blue box locos. So based on my observed FACTS, I conclude that my Atlas locos are superior, both in detail running ability. The truth is out there ! - George
