Rusty,
I got the older version Atlantic with the rigid trailing truck and that
last set of wheels nearly high centered the second set of drivers so it
could barely pull itself. I modified the trailing truck frame to let
the wheels ride higher. Actually the engine might do okay on the flat
lands where they actually ran but the grades quickly take their toll.
It's actually a very smooth runner and an overall nice model.
Also, our mutual friend does the same thing you do. He sells the new
boxed engines, the ones he's made run right and the custom painted stuff
only to keep the basket cases (how do you honestly sell a basket case on
e-bay!) and the ones that he's started on but might never finish. I've
heard good things about your paint work.
