Replace or fully charge the battery. This is fairly common with PS2 engines that haven't been used in quite some time.

 

This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Celebrating (?) my 71st this month, I can relate to this poor engine, for sure.  I call it a good night's sleep......others claim it's my nightly journey through the fog of forgetfulness!

 

For me, I wish forgetfulness were as simple as a dead battery.  Wife's 'DiNozzo's' don't seem to help either!  Ah, well, as long as I can still find my way to the bathroom, the train room, the refrigerator, .....and York twice a year...., and fog the mirror in the morning,....we're good.

 

On behalf of ol' pharts and phuddies like us,.....be patient with this engine and its forgetfulness.   TLC works.

Yep get a new battery and see if the engine will retain it's address. Maybe even give it a new ID to verify the battery is good.(power down layout and try starting again upon power up.

 

maybe even a feature reset... Menu/Advanced/ reset engine/ feature reset... engine will retain it's ID.   good luck.
