Okay, so I searched for this topic and I couldn’t find an entry.  So I have a Lionel engine that I gutted and put brand new ERR cruise and Railsounds (connected by wired tether) and I’m just about done chasing gremlins and the last I tested it, upon initialization the bell sounds without a button press or command from cab2.   Chuffs still work as well as other commands.   If I remove the tether and leave the engine on the track the bell sounds, if I remove the engine the bell stops sounding.   I don’t think it’s the tether I think I have something grounded out on my locomotive but I can’t seem to isolate it.  I also have installed a chuff generator as well as super chuffer.  Everything worked like it was supposed to and now I’ve developed a constant ringing bell.  Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated.  

regards,

Tony Sunday

What transformer are you using, and are you connecting through a Powermaster?

I’m using a z4000 and also through my wtiu (not for control just all my tracks go through wtiu).  It wasn’t doing it earlier.  I had a solder joint break to my chuff earlier (unrelated-I think) that I had opened it up to inspect and repair and when I put it back together it started doing this.
