Brill trolley

sounds like you don't have DCS?
use your throttle lever to get it into neutral. just like all the other engines. lift the throttle push it back down quick lift back up it should be in neutral.
The PS2 brill has the crappiest owners manual I've ever seen in all the time I've been in model railroading
I think you have to actually go to the PS2 part of their website to get a handle on how to operate it as I recall.

Don't know about the trolley programing except that is is confusing but your main problem may be the CW-80. MTH does not recommend that transformer do to its output. If you can not come up with a different transformer try putting several light bulbs on the output to give it a load. The CW-80 has a tendency not to drop the output completely to 0 volts without a load.

I am now using a z500, no luck, no matter what I do I can not get it into netural. It just goes one direction, bell works, whistle works. It is not of any use to me in this condition and I can't get a response from MTH, it should still be under warrenty.

Any suggestions other than post it for sale?

What is your model number?

Rick, why don't you return it to the seller, ask them to fix it or ask for your money back.

Rick,

Believe me you'll be dead and gone before you get a e mail response from MTH.
Try calling them and ask for the tech department. I had a terrible time getting mine to do what I want and I have full DCS. I can only imagine how it'd be if I was using the transformer buttons.
in any case they can talk you thru it and issue a return if need be.

Okay I looked thru my manual. It should start out in neutral if it doesn't it may be locked in one direction. To do a factory reset on it it says  1 horn and 3 bells that should get it in neutral or back to MTH it needs to go.

Take it to a hobby shop that has a Z4000 and have them do the factory reset. As for MTH Service, my experiences have been good getting a response. However, they are currently overwhelmed with work.
