I purchase this new in box at a auction. mth 20-5526-1 I took it out of the box and put it on the track and nothing happen. I have a lighted lock on so I knew I had power. I took it on and off the track and then it started and ran fine and I was able to program the engine into my dcs controller. Tonight I want to run it and I had the same problem. I took it on and off juggled it and it took off (I had the speed at 15 on the control) but it was off the track so it blew the breaker. I put it back on the track and nothing happen, the lights don't light and the controller says its an inactive engine. I know that it was in the 2002 catalog, do you think that battery might need to be replaced? If the battery is dead would the engine not light up?
I love the engine, any suggestions??????
