John, remind me to name my son after you should I ever have a son! You seem to be the patron saint of P48 and I greatly thank you for all your help!

To all others, thanks for the awesome response, advice and great videos. Guess I will convert a couple of these and see where it leads. Looks like a good decoder set for 128 speed steps may help as well as rewiring the motors. The nice thing about the Atlas models is I can re-cycle my 3 rail stuff by 86'ing the current electronics, adding DCC and wheel pickups, rewiring the motors and changing out the wheelsets. I enjoy this type of tinkering PLUS I get to keep some old faves not to mention I am just an average guy making an average wage so laying out big $$ to get up and running isn't really in the cards.

Happy Railroading!

Mike
