<p>[quote user="rrinker"]</p> <p> Probably both. That Atlas S2 (newer one, not the old Roco one) has the same problem, additionally compounded by having the metal frame of the motor connected to a brush, requiring a new nylon motor mount screw. On my P2K S1 the lower brush holder is in no way connected to the motor frame, so I just added a wire, cut off the tab that rubbed the frame, and put a piece of Kapton tape over it.</p> <p> --Randy</p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Even the Atlas Master Gold ones with DCC/sound already in them?</p> <p>On one of the Protos, one has a pair of plastic nubs on the trucks that prevent wheel-frame contact. Im thinking the S3 has something like that. </p>
