I have a 2-8-8-4 Premiere Yellowstone Steam engine with ProtoSound, MTH catalog #20-3030-1 and has a BCR install in it. It was featured in the 1999 Vol.1 MTH catalog. I was running it in conventional mode with my Z-4000 Transformer. The engine worked perfectly until I stopped it, and throttled the transformer back to "O" volts. The engine now had no power to it. While checking a piece of track in front of my transformer I accidentally throttled the transformer up to about 5 or 6 volts. When I heard the Yellowstone sounds start up I realized I had leaned up against the throttle and immediately throttled the transformer back to "O" voltage. When I was through with the track, which I ended up doing nothing to, I throttled up the transformer to run the Yellowstone. To my surprise all I get out of the Yellowstone are the lights, and 3 dull clink sounds. It will not move, there are no sounds from the engine just lights. I tried several times to reset and all I get are 3 clink sounds every time I put power to it. Does anyone have any Idea what might be wrong or happened. I sure hope I did not burn up something in the engine or tender. I Tried the other side of the Z-4000 and the same thing happens with this same engine. Tried other engines and there is no problem.
