Re: MTH PS1 Tender battery?

ProspectorOGR Forum Member

Bought a MTH N&W locomotive last year. Worked like a champ. Awesome sounds. Put it away but I'm starting to think about getting everything set up again in a couple of months. This is the first MTH I've owned. Did some reading and started getting concerned about potential battery failure when I first start up again. Opened up the tender and got confused. I don't see anything in there that looks like a battery or a BCR. Here are some pictures. Is this modified from the standard setup? If not, where is the battery? Sorry for the naive question.

It look like it has rail sound I don't see a chip on top of the board, there is no battery in rail sound if you have the box for it , it should say on it .

Guy, Picture of the box attached. Guessing I am about to feel foolish and discover this does not have ProtoSounds. That would actually be a relief as I only run around the holidays so the less potential problems the better. Kids and I really like this one. Thanks for replying. Alex

That doesn't have proto sounds, it would QSI on end of the box, that is one of the first railking engine's because it has a RK on the engine number the newer one's have 30 for the first numbers and don't feel foolish there a lot of thing's you have to find out about MTH train's most are good, at least you took the time to take it a part to see if it had a battery in it .
