Running RMD East in OR, I am having issues with the EP-1s, and EF-1s with respect to the bell not shutting off. Once I hit the B key, no matter how many times I hit it again, the bell stays on. I have also attempted to shut off the bell by pressing CTRL-B, ALT-B, SHIFT-B, all to no avail.

The Little Joes do not experience the same phenomenon. Anyone have this issue, and if so, what was the fix?

Thanks in advance!

Don't know much about sms files, but here's the bell stream from both the EF1cab.sms and the E4cab.sms (Little Joe), that should aid someone who knows about such stuff in figuring out what's wrong. I just tried it and that bell won't stop,.
EP-1s, and EF-1s both use the EF1cab.sms

I just tested this adjusted bell stream that I copied from the Little joe, took out the steambell and added the default Dash9 bell found in the original EF1cab.sms. It works, press B to ring bell, bell will stop, Shift+B for continuous ring. This is a stop gap until a proper fix is supplied. Just paste in place of the bell stream or streams, make copy of original sms first.

The problem is that the bells that will not stop do not have a trigger 11 releaseloop, so if you use the code from the little joe with the wav file for the EP-1 or EF-1 as appropriate you will have a bell that stops on key release.

Thanks for the help, guys!

I will mess around with the SMS files in a bit and let you know if anything else crops up.

Thanks again!
