Dug out an old PS2 engine that has been mostly sitting on a track for a long time...more than one year.

Figured I'd dust it off and, maybe, run it. So, I put it on my "control/test track" by itself and turned on the the power. Looked for it in the remote...not there. Changed the battery with a genuine MTH 8.4 rechargeable battery. That did not change a thing.

Attempted to get it to move in conventional, transformer controlled manner. Engine will not move.

Is the board dead? Is some chip all fouled up because the battery went dead? Thought that really only happened to PS1...

Did a "read" with the remote..."no active MTH engines." Cannot figure out how to bring it back to life.

Can it be done? Is it doomed to be a dummy engine now??

Thanks for any kind response.
