proto 2.0 engine problem

What's the middle number?  Next when you replaced the battery did you use  rechargeablerechargeable or a standard 9v and did you charge the battery? 

For conventional operation make sure the wheels and pickups are clean.  For testing you can use a new 9V alkaline.   For conventional you must have a battery installed.

After cleaning, does it run?  If not try 1W and 5B to get two toots.

For the DCS Commander you still need to add the engine to the DCS before you can start it up.  Read the manual with the DCS Commander to tell you how to add engines.   G

I used a new 9 volt even though I believe the original battery was OK and I had charged it.

The engine had been added to the DCS commander as engine  #1

If the battery was low en you added there engine., it most likely don't get added properly.

If you haven't done so since putting in either a fresh, charged, 8.4 volt (not 7.2 volt) rechargeable battery or, alternately, a fresh Alkaline 9 volt battery, delete the engine and then re-add it using one of the aforementioned battery choices.

If the old battery was white, you should have thrown it away.   More information on the engine would be helpful.  You stated you believe the old battery was OK.  Did you put a meter on it under a load?

Was the battery white?

What was the engine number???????

This is a good post as it made up my mind on whether or not I want to keep answering questions.

Barry  I have a good battery in it now.  When I shut down in conventional mode the sound gracefully goes away. The old one was a bit low.  However I cannot delete the engine.  I can not reset.  After I hit reset a number of time  "system" comes on but "factory" never comes up

Yes the old battery was white.  The engine is a Railing Caterpillar engine from the 30-4047-1 set.  On the DCS screen it is engine #1.

Thanks guys
