Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on January 21st, and had a good day operating my usual Amtrak passenger train, this time with my recently received Lionel Amtrak F40PH, and my MTH Tri-Rail train set. The both trains ran perfectly throughout the whole day, although my Phase IV Horizon car was having issues with its interior lighting. It would flicker on switches and sometimes would not light up at all when rolling, found that to be the center rail pickup wires broke off. I wasn’t able to fix that at the museum, so I put the wires into the shell and ran it with no lights and I fixed the issue when I returned home.
My “Amtrak San Diegan” styled train consists of: Lionel Amtrak F40PH #404, Atlas O California Zephyr Dome Chair car “Silver Rifle,” Atlas O Amtrak Horizon coach (Phase IV) #53510, Atlas O Amtrak Horizon Dinette #58100 (Phase V), Atlas O Amtrak Horizon Coach #54522 (Phase V), Lionel Amtrak Amfleet Coach #82568, and Lionel Amtrak Amfleet Control End Car #9646
All of the footage is in 1080p60. Some parts will be a bit dark, due to the FPS.
