Are Atlas diesels made in the past couple years as good as the ones made in the early 2000s? Those earlier ones had the smooth superior drive.
I have five Atlas locos in HO and they are quiet and super smooth. They were all released within the last two years.
I recently (2009 and 2010) bought two Atlas Gold series GP 40-2s and have been very well pleased with them. They both run (glide) very smoothly and quietly. It’s amazing how quiet the train room gets when I mute the sound. The only thing I don’t like are the couplers. I’m in the process of changing them to Kadees.
