I had used started this unit months past and I seem to recall, had to reset xfmr due to short. Could that have 'frozen' those operations like bell, whistle, train talk etc? If so, should I send it off for repair?
Anyway, I have a special set of track that I only run my few MTH locos on using a z-500 xfmr and remote commander receiver.
Mind, I don't have a problem with none of those items not working but perhaps there is a fix?
Thanks for any replies, Guys.

Two things to note:
1. MTH product numbers usually appear as XX-XXXXX, and sometimes as XX-XXXX-X. Most of their engine product numbers were like 20-XXXXX or 30-XXXXX. The info you provided has wrong amount of numbers. Please check the box because correct product numbers helps us help you.
2. Second, you mentioned a short and resetting a transformer. If it was a bad enough short, you might have fried your command boards. If you put the engine on the track now with power, does it do anything?

This maybe a very simple fix. Did you check the individual volume settings? Many times a glitch in power will scramble the volume settings, this seems more prevalent with PS/3. Try doing a feature reset on the locomotive.
