Engine’s story: Picked this up for a great price at a Train Show in Puyallup, WA. Along with this I picked up 2 Amtrak cabin cars. When I picked this up my plan was to convert it to DCC because why not! After getting home I put it on the DC track and it ran like It was fresh out of the box. At full speed it’s a little on the loud side but with it being a passenger train it won’t be running at full speed that often.

Update 1/19/2020: The day after picking this loco up I converted it to DCC. Check out that post: Amtrak 510 gets converted to DCC
