I followed your instructions and bell is loud and clear. Thank you very much for your input and for helping me with this problem.

HI Ed,

The 5906-1 ‘bell sound button’ should be wired with the red wire to the hot post of your transformer and the black wire to the center rail of the track. This will replace the normal lead wire from your transformer to the center rail of the track.

Holding the button down for 2 to 3 seconds should sound the bell.

Ed, I'm not sure if the railsounds button was ever supposed to work a proto2 engine's sounds. Proto1 maybe. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
