A side by side comparison.
The old one on top and the new one at the bottom. They are either from different suppliers or at least very different models. I assume the supplier has been changed for costing reasons. The Atlas standard motor was always very distinctive from cheep toy motors.

I am surprised not to hear an uproar. I remember well the flood of nasty comments when the dimensions of the first batch of Genesis GP7/9 were not perfect. Athearn corrected it and ok. Atlas screws a fundamental part like the motor and nothing happens.
ps. The new one has no drive shafts and one motor wire is disconnected. It has been demoted to a dummy
