Yes I have trouble with the operation of the bell too. And I'm running version cab 1.52 and base 1.51, could this be it?
I have the lime green S-2 road number 4513L Lionel Lines #6-84513 (on the locomotive box) that came in the set #7-84512 (on the box) or in the catalog listed as set #6-84512.
In Legacy Mode the bell does not work "single hit or continuous bell sounds", but everything else works just fine. With an instant or short duration hit of the bell slide activation switch on the cab-2, I get a sequence of 4 bell rings, not a single hit of the bell.
When sliding the bell activation switch for that longer prescribed duration (about 1.75 seconds or so) I get a sequence of 6 bell rings, then no more, but not the continuous bell sound.
With no orange module, of course one has now to upload the legacy data from the engine on the track into the cab 2 equipment by addressing your engine no., now you're in TMCC cab 1, press info, and guide the loading of the data for this locomotive for the Legacy Mode manually. I hope I'm explaining this and doing this correctly, for I am no whiz at this stuff by any means. When coming to the place to add sounds, one has a choice of 'railsounds', 'railsounds 5', and 'Legacy railsounds'. After several attempts loading 'Legacy railsounds', everything loads successfully EXCEPT THE BELL OPERATION data, because the bell will not run single hit or continuous after the CTC button returns the locomotive back to the run mode. If you insert 'railsounds' or 'railsounds 5' however, you can get the bell to ring continuous, but you can't get a single hit, and you loose some of your other Legacy features such as turning your cab light on or off.
Since I like the continuous bell a lot, like when running down past station platforms, I'll leave my locomotive with 'railsounds 5' in the input until I can talk to customer support at Lionel.
