San Diego 3 Railers Lionel Amtrak Acela train action; April 16th, 2022

Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on April 16th, and had a good day operating my usual manifest freight train and my newly received Legacy Acela set, and expansion pack. The whole set arrived in excellent condition, no broken nose cones and no issues with the cars. So far I am very happy with the whole train and I am very glad I decided to pick it up, even though I put a lot of money to it. I ran the train with the pantographs down the entire time, because I heard from a few members that the tunnels for the green line will destroy pantographs. But I should have disabled the arcing sound effect, oh well... Ran the train at medium speed, as we have a lift bridge on the lower levels that could spell doom to the whole set. I will try running it at limited speed on the upper lines next time.

That looks cool but there are 9 errors that I found with this Acela's 2021 style design which I am not going to list. I think a cool announcement would be "Now arriving on track 3 is the 3:59 PM Acela Express train 2167 to Washington DC. The First Class and Quiet cars are located at the front of the train. Please check your travel documents for your reserved car and seat number. Arriving next on track 3." What do you think of that announcement idea? I have seen this specific Acela serving as 2167 two times so far.

I don't think the sound cards would be able to store that much information, and they generally do not make their models have road number or train number specific dialog (except for their vision line models). I found the first issue already, out of the box the engines are at the wrong ends of the train. But I have already fixed that issue

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

How did you fix the issue?

Swapping the drawbars/couplers between the 2 powered units, effectively turning the passenger car arrangement around 180 degrees
