I have a GS-4 RailKing early PS 2 with the 8.3v Battery and yes the battery is charged.It is stuck in neutral not moving goes through all sounds with whistle and bell. I have a Z4000 transformer and a DCS Remote commander. I have tries the reset 1 whistle and 5 bells quick and nothing happens. It will once and a while run with my Lionel Z80 transformer. Any suggestions as to what I can do. I do not have the MTH Number for this Engine it as custom Painted by MTH for a TV show. It was a Southern Pacific Daylight Engine.

Does it run with your Z-4000 in conventional? If this engine has not been factory reset with a Full DCS system it will not run on the DCS Remote commander.
While the battery has been charged, if it is bad it still will not come out of neutral. Power it up with the Z-4000 and then turn power off. Do shut down sounds play for 5-8 seconds. G
Ok no it will not run with the Z4000 and no shut down sounds do not play when power is turned off.
Ok where is a good source BCRs the 8v and the 3v? At a good price.

above is the document which will tell you how to reset the engine read page 12 and below it explains how to reset it back to original!
Thanks
let us know how you make out!
His battery is dead, so no joy until that is replaced. G
Thanks for the info. Up date put a 9v battery in and it runs great. Had to go and get battery at the store. Now I have a PS2 Diesel switcher that was doing the same thing so I need to get the BCRs for both.
