I have little mystery I'm trying to solve. My MTH H-3 2-8-0, which is about 15 years old, isn't responding to the start up command when on my layout but it works fine on the test track. I have several MTH locomotives, both Proto 2 and Proto 3 and this is the only one having a problem.

Will it run in conventional mode? That may be a way to test if there is some odd connectivity issue.

I'll have to set that up, but I'll give it a try.

You could try a factory reset. I've had a couple of MTH engines do some strange things and a reset has cured them. When you do a factory reset the engine is deleted from the remote and you have to reacquire it but that's very easy to do.

If this is a ProtoSounds 2 engine, being 15 years old, the first thing I try if an engine is not responding is to recharge or replace its battery. I've revived a couple of my older engines that just sat there not responding to commands. After charging the battery they ran like new. Just a thought.
