Since Atlas uses the ERR products, Nudge should work for them.
If you can't get nudge to work, I'd suggest talking to 3rd Rail, they are the ones now supplying the ERR product line. Here are the instructions for setting the nudge speed.
“Nudge Mode” Operation
The Cruise Commander has a bit of “play” to allow locos to operate in a lash-up. At times
the “play” is not optimal, so it is possible to match locos a bit closer with the “nudge” mode
feature. Remember to lash-up only very similar locos and that it is a requirement that the
gear ratios match.
Simply try the locos together in a lash-up at slow speeds. If they buck each other, use the
Cruise Commander “nudge” mode to try to match the locos a bit closer. Nudge mode
basically increases the slower loco to match the speed profile of the faster loco. Although
similar to a “stall” setting, the nudge mode is a bit more complex as it calculates the speed
profile dynamically to hold the locos in sync throughout the throttle range.
First create a “TRain” with the Cab-1. Once the locos are operating in TRain mode do the
following:
• Test run the locos (not coupled) to find the slower loco
• Place the slower loco behind the faster one
• Get them moving as a train, around 10 speed steps on the throttle
• Select the slower loco ENG ID
• Press AUX2 4 times, with a 1 second pause between each press
• The lights should blink off twice, confirming the loco to be “nudged”
• Use the Boost and Brake keys to adjust the slower loco to match the faster one
• Press “HORN” to lock the setting in the slower loco.
• Aux1 will cancel the setting.
• Couple the locos together and run as TRain.
To summarize:
Select: Slower Engine ID
Activate: AUX2 + AUX2 + AUX2 + AUX2
Nudge: BOOST to speed up, Brake to slow down
Save: HornTo clear the nudge settings, select the speed step (32 or 100) on the “nudged” loco.
Note: the “nudge” selection is stored until changed, and survives power cycling.
IMPORTANT POINT: Note that by selecting a new speed step mode you are clearing the nudge settings!
