Today I purchased a Premier Santa Fe Caboose w/Operating Signal Man. I tested it at the store on their layout and it worked great. The signal man was activated by pushing the bell button on their transformer. I have DCS and figured it would work the same using the DCS remote control but I can't seem to get it to work. I also tried to push the bell buttons on my Z-4000 but that didn't work either. Unfortunately the caboose didn't come with directions even though it was brand new but I looked the product up on the MTH website and it mentioned in the product description that "activation occurs whenever the transformer bell button is pressed". The lights are on in the caboose so it is getting power. There is a switch on the bottom of the caboose with the options Auto and DTS or it might read OTS(i appologize but the letters are very small making it difficult to read). I have tried several times switching between the two opions but still no luck getting the signal man to operate. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank You - Mike
