2-8-8-2 Lionel No Response

Legacy & Remote & Command Base work together.   Other TMCC engines entered work.  2-8-8-2 will not take a command at the Proctor Historical Museum Layout.

I took the engine to my home layout and replaced the dead battery and ID# 35 installed in my Legacy System and everything works fine in DCS and Legacy Remotes.  Problem solved, so I thought.  Back to the Museum layout.   Reconnected Legacy Command Base   setting the frequency # and pairing the # with the Legacy remote.  Reinstalling engine # 35 in the remote. No horn or flashing light.  Went through the reset engine as per the manual problem solving.  I did the procedures Base & Remote, and Frequencies many times.  I even disconnected the DCS and did the process in Legacy only and no response.

We also have a older TMCC Base disconnected and a Remote with an Antenna.  Could the Remote interfere even not in use?

Because the engine is big heavy and articulated instead of removing it from the Track on and off I merely shut the power off and the Transformer off.  Then go through the Program & Run procedures.  Is this wrong?
