I believe that the answer you referenced is for PF trains and the issue here is with an RC train.

While the referenced duplicate is for Power Functions, the steps to diagnose the issue are fairly similar - ensure that you have good line of sight between the controller and the receivers on the sides of the engine, check the motors still work in the wheel units with a direct connection to some batteries, etc. The set is about 10 years old, so some wear and tear may be expected.

# Cargo Train Deluxe (7898) not running

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-11-14)

I was working with the main locomotive of set 7898. I put brand new batteries in both the controller and locomotive but for some reason every time I press the button to turn on the train, the red light comes on and I press the button to make the train to go and nothing happens.

Any idea what the issue could be or how I can fix this?
