I have an MTH RailKing Seaboard Alco RS-3 that has gotten to where it has to be "found" every time to be able to run. All functions operate (movement, lights, sound) but if you interrupt power, the engine becomes "lost" and you have to do a delete/add to make it work. Have tried reset to no avail. Suggestions for fix?

The DCS add engine function REQUIRES a functioning super capacitor or battery system in the engine. The address is not stored in memory until the engine does a shutdown process powered by super capacitors in PS3 or a battery in PS2, or BCR.
Again, would let a tech look at it.
The assumed other fault we would see is sounds and lights cut off instantly when power is dropped.
Hi the super cap is bad and needs replaced! where do you live I can repair it for you I'm in new jersey. ! Alan
