Well i was able to fix Both Metroliner Power Units quickly,the only problems they had was there were several broken axels.I went through some of my junk parts and found enough axels and gears to repair what i had .The motors are a tad noisy,but they run Great.So now i don't have to salvage my...

Woodone, the ones i'am talking about are the ones installed in the Atlas engines.They also had a problem with induction,( meaning they would go crazy,loosing control and changing direction on their own ).Lenz was very aware of this problem and offered no quick fix.Someone Many many times smarter...
