Atlas Engine, codes on bottom

LC Lee ConcannonOGR Forum Member

I recently bought this engine (older model) but it came with no owners manual. I emailed Atlas but after 3 weeks have received no reply. It works fine but changing dirrections is a challenge. On Atlas track with an Atlas transformer it will change dirrection only if I use the dirrection button on the transformer while the engine is moving. On Fastrack with a MRC 270 watt dual transformer it will not chang at all ?? On the bottom of the engine there is a inset to the chassis but I have no idea what it does etc.. I hope my picture comes through so you can see it.. Any help appreciated.HPIM0555

There were early  SW's  with Dallee electronics.  The small dip switches set  the forward/reverse sequence.  Looking for the instructions???? Found.

Switch #1, when set to the OFF position, will allow forward-neutral-reverse sequencing.

Switch #1, when set to the ON position, will allow  neutral-forward-neutral-reverse.

Switch #2 is the reverse unit lock-out, and enables the train to operate in one direction only   Setting the switch ON deactivates the reversing unit.

I purchase the unit for $90 sometime ago and never could get it to work forward/reverse.   Removed the Dallee electronics and have been upgrading the unit to TMCC.  

As has been stated poor sound.  I added the electro-couplers and modified the fuel tank to accept the later TMCC speaker.  Speaker screen is an Atlas part.

New Atlas speaker. Existing Dallee speaker is located under the hood grills.

First run Dallee as has been stated.  I have owned the two Union Pacific since there release so long ago.   Very smooth runners but forget about reliable direction changes.    Sound at full volume is weak,  to say the least.

Dip switches configuration do control the direction state and lock in a direction as I recall.

Mine got turned into dummies,  beautiful models..............
