I just purchased a MTH Scale 2-8-0 off of ebay. The seller said it works fine and had a charged battery. He had all positive comments.
I put the engine on the track and was able to add it to my DCS remote. After that I was able to turn the start up sounds on, blow the whistle, but not make it move. I first though a bad battery. I let it charge for 10 min or so bu then was not able to get any sounds or movement. The remote kept saying check track. I tried doing a factory reset but it wouldn't let me saying to check track.
I replaced the battery with a known good battery. Still the same thing. My other PS2 locomotives run fine.
Any suggestions? I am letting it charge up now and will try again in 20 min.
