My PS-2 Dreyfuss (20-3045-1) has started to become unresponsive to the DCS remote. When I go to power it up, sometimes "engine not on track" appears on the remote. After doing a factory reset, deleting it from the remote and re-adding it, most times the remote will find it, but in the last day or 2 I've also gotten "No engine to add." Also, sometimes it will start up like it's in conventional mode, even though power is going through the TIU. Most of the time, these symptoms occur after several minutes of running, so I'm wondering if the heat generated from the motor and smoke unit are causing the issue. The battery is brand-new.  I've heard the board in this loco is known for failure, and I'm wondering if these are signs of a failing board or if it's possibly another issue. My only other DCS-equipped loco is my newly-converted PS-3 Premier Blue Comet, and it runs perfectly. Many thanks. 

John
