It is an MTH 20-2148-1
O Scale Premier F40PH Diesel Engine - With Proto -- sold 1997
You have a PS1 engine that no, DCS remote will not operate or find and add the engine.
Only PS2 and PS3 can be accessed and controlled in command mode with DCS.
The 2 dings are there telling you you have a protosound 1 engine you just powered up. It is conventional only.

Highly suggest you first open that shell and check for and most likely replace the original white 9V rechargeable battery that is required for correct conventional operation of that engine. Again, minimally post a picture of the battery after opening the shell. Inspect for leakage or corrosion on the 9V battery snap connector. Even if the battery is the green label or the new grey silver, they could be old enough and leaking to still need replacement.

Also note, that in the manual this engine may be picky on what conventional transformers can correctly operate it- seen at the back of the manual.
