Reinhard,
this can motors look all the same from the outside. The outer sizes are of standard dimensions for Far East all motor manufacturers.
Actually they can be good and on the other hand they can be bad. Depending on the specifications which are ordered by the buyer. And the buyer in this case is the model railroad manufacture. Or worst case, the cost optimizer of this particular manufacturer.
A cheapo motor for use in a toy (of course for this toys who have to endure from twelve o' clock till high noon
):

And a better one suitable for use in model locos:

Not the best one, but lower middle grade of quality.
It seemed the Atlas model has got one of these.
Intermountain has this motor size too.
I remember the Atlas locos had mounted a Mashima motor before (one of the better smooth runner)
But ...
two days before today i have ordered one of the newly announced Atlas ALCO RSD-4/5 locos
Will they come with unsatisfacturing drive trains :?:

This is the standard range, most motors ordered by model rr manufacturers are equipped with two motor shafts.
And there are some more manufacturers in China.
