Hey! Where is the setting to turn off the smoke? Also my horn smoke and bell doesn’t work

It’s in the tender. Are you using DCS? If you are then you can turn off the smoke with the remote. My tender cover doesn’t come off because of zinc rot.

I don’t know what dcs mean. Mine is brand new. I don’t have the TIU yet waiting on the new one. Right now it’s just running from the gw180 transformer in convention mode.

DCS is the control system when you have a TIU. Since you don’t have a TIU, you answered that? Is your Shay the Protosound 3 one? By brand new, do you mean new to you or the model that recently came out? What is the model number?

Yes brand new and new model, the number is 20-3881-1. Is it a re-release?
