BOBBYD - The engine number is 20-2235-1 Illinois Central E-8's.
GGG - Yes, the engine does shut down sounds when the power is shut off.
I just checked the signal strength with a reliable engine and I got 10's on 90% of the track where it was losing the signal with the problem engine.

Art,

IIRC this engine has the inner two wheel sets on each truck plastic/flangeless and an axle with rubber tires leaving you with just 4 wheels for contact. What is the signal strength with this engine? The others could be getting 11's, if this one is getting low numbers that's what we need to resolve. What is your trackage like in the problem area? Straight track? Switches?
