Engine Not on Track

Just recently unpacked some older engines I have not run in years.  Just so happens there is one engine that is causing me grief.  It's the early 2000 addition Premier Santa Fe Blue Goose 20-3079 PS2.  This engine has the charging port on the tender so I figured I better plug it in for awhile.  After several hours of charging I placed it on the layout and added it into my DCS remote fine and it fired up and ran fine.  A day later I tried to run it and I get the message Check Track-Engine Not on Track message.  I figured it is just a bad battery that was not holding a charge any longer.  I replaced it with a new BCR, I removed and readded the engine to my DCS and all ran well again!

Now today I tried to fire it up and the same thing is happening?  As long as I maintain power to the track I can start it up and shut it down multiple times anywhere on my layout.  As soon as I cut the power to the transformer and turn off the DCS is when it stops and gives me the message to Check the Track!  If I remove and readd it the engine fires back up and runs fine.

Any ideas or suggestions to what is happening?
