Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on May 7th, and had a good day operating my usual Amtrak passenger train and my usual manifest freight consist (but with 2 of my MTH freight locos in an MU this time). I wanted to do something else with this engine last weekend, but I ended up not using it in that video because the smoke unit sounded louder than usual. I fixed that with a bit of oil on the motor bearing and that seemed to have done the trick. This train had 0 issues throughout the day, ran like a well-oiled machine (no pun intended).
My “Amtrak San Diegan” styled train consists of: MTH Premier Amtrak Genesis #99, Atlas O California Zephyr Dome Chair car “Silver Rifle,” Atlas O Amtrak Horizon Dinette #58100 (Phase V), Atlas O Amtrak Horizon Coach #54522 (Phase V), Atlas O Amtrak Horizon coach (Phase IV) #53510, 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.
