Reply to "MTH Protosound 2, GP38 Diesel operation, bell keeps ringing, conventional except for the Bells and whistle won't respond"

let’s make sure the proto sounds work properly.  With the engine running forward if you press and hold the yellow bell button after a few seconds you will hear a wooshing noise, Now you can release the yellow bell button.The bell keep ringing until you hit the direction button this is the freight yard sounds  now you have to cycle through the direction button  a couple times until the engine takes off on its own and when the bell stops ringing you now have full control of the engine again .This is in the manual under freight yard sounds so start with this and it will be telling us the transformer is operating properly
