Very low Sound PS 2.0 Tinplate

Low volume means low battery. Change out the battery in the tender or put in a battery eliminator.  You could try to leave it on the track and charge it for awhile and see if it improves.

Hi you have a PS 2 3-volt board that uses a rechargeable battery if the resets works and the sound is low or especially distorted  could be a bad speaker or the audio AMP could be defective! if the speaker has a ground in the speaker winding grounds out it can blown the audio amp and even destroy the whole board! generally the audio chips will get damaged from car or train derailments ! I'm an MTh ASC tech so you may mail the whole engine or just mail me the PS 2 3-volt board I don't know where you're located I'm in NJ ! if you're sure the battery is full charged, then there is one other option you can do a maintenance reset in the remote, sometimes that will clear the low volume!

Well , you guys are always right. I did charge the battery via plug in bottom , however seems this battery is dead.I put in a BCR and after a few seconds the sounds came back at full.

I am charging a fresh battery overnight and will swap out the BCR.

Thanks

Why not just leave the BCR in it and never worry about it again?

Well , I only had one BCR2 that worked with 3 volt.I had forgot about.I may buy a few more, specifically for locos I display and run intermittently.
