@MELGAR posted:Photos and video show my MTH Premier Amtrak P42 Genesis #104 with a 2-car consist on my 10’-by-5’ layout. The locomotive is an older PS2 5-Volt model with a BCR. It hadn’t been run in years. I cleaned the wheels and pickup rollers and off it went. Amtrak passes through small towns in Connecticut, such as on my layout. The consists are two or three cars between New Haven and Springfield, Massachusetts, although the P42 locomotives and cars now have a newer livery. It seems to me that I see very few threads about Amtrak models on the Forum.

Nice layout and engines Mel! My #104 died about 8 years ago as I didn't realize to change out the white battery. I am glad I also bought #107 & #110 which now have new NIMH batteries which I make sure are charged. I might consider BCR's in the future.
Make sure the plating on the Star speaker in your #104 isn't flaking which can cause big problems also. Replace it immediately is it looks like this or if it doesn't sound right.

Here is my #107 & #110 on the club layout.
