I have had more than one issue with Atlas units new in the box. One I sent back to Atlas and they claimed that USPS destroyed it in transit after letting the box sit unopened in their posession for 6 weeks. So I was out $200 there. I just picked up another brand new Atlas N scale locomotive. this one DC, and it also doesn't work out of the box. Not sure what is up with their QC, or lack thereof, lately.

Atlas had an FA-1years ago. Was first N Scale locomotive with a flywheel. This is based on the Life Like FA-1

Might want to clean your track before testing a loco with no keep alive installed.

I did end up cleaning the track during this test, unfortunately it didn't help much. I found that properly barking-in the locomotive got it to run more reliably. What seemed to be really holding this locomotive back was the fact that the motor was dragging and hand a wine to it. Needing more current to spin was causing it to cut out more then it should have. Thanks for watching!
