Hello,

I am new to the forum so I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong section.  Several years ago, before my son was old enough, I purchased a Lionel conventional classics set for him.  It is the set with the Virginian Rectifier.  This Christmas was finally the right time.  Currently, I am struggling with the horn and bell operation.    I have a new MTH transformer with both sound and horn buttons but operation of horn/bell is at best sporadic.   I am looking for thoughts as to whether there may be a problem with the new engine or possibly a compatibility issue with MTH transformer.   That said, I have not had problems with other Lionel items.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"On another note, it seems to me there was an issue with the sounds in that series when they first came out.  Then again, I may be making that up in my head but I'm not sure."


Yes, that was true then. You can buy the Lionel sound activation button and try that. My MTH Z-1000 will generally blow the horn and work the bell with any train.
