Stephen, mine does not move laterally but bobs up and down; I added the following golf club weights from Amazon - maybe 1-2 ozs - and that didn't noticeably change the bobbing. I may consider adding more weight. GRJ added about 18oz to his. If I do, I will try the pine wood weights; I like the golf club ones because they were coated and had sticky bottoms but very expensive - around $8 for 10 squares to get you 1-2 ozs.
Hmm, 18oz in weights. How did that fit in there GRJ?
You missed my point. I was showing you the weights I used and how to attach them, not saying I could fit all those into a steamer! There were actually added to a diesel, the HHP-8.

I did take note of that, and was going off of what someone else said you did, my bad. I actually was over reading on the other post that Jeff AKA PENNSY484(just now) and I agree with what someone had said there(which is the same as you here GRJ), there needs to be balance. The person over there said that the weight should be distributed over the drivers(in the middle) on not on the front. I am guessing with what little room that there is on the Atlantic to begin with this is extremely difficult. So, for me, I think I will tackle one thing at a time. Get things taped up first so there are no wires getting shredded to pieces, and then see if I can handle the bobbing, if I need to. I was only ever going to run maybe 3 or 4 passenger cars behind it if that. See what comes up.
Thanks again John. 
OOPS, this business of 18 oz is my bad: GRJ added about 18oz to his.' He was speaking of adding that weight to his HHP-8 and not the E6. I mis-stated GRJ.

Correction, the HHP-8 isn't a diesel, it's an electric. You should know better John. 
Is that what all that stuff on the roof is for? 
Finally got to preventive repairs on my two Atlantic's. Thank you all for helping bringing this to light and how to fix.
Screws were probably the hardest thing for me, lol. I had to find the really tiny screw driver. I think I may need to invest in some tools.
Steven, did you ever get a resolution to your headlight issue? I am now having the same issue with mine. I opened mine up and the wiring all seems to be ok.
After returning my E6 to Lionel for a short in the trucks problem - https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...e-e6-showed-up-today - Lionel left all my Kapton tape on the wires in place - pretty much the same as Dave's above.
