i am considering building a 1:28 scale railroad and wanted to know where i could get parts

  ok so i was running my old fp9 and my new fta with a passenger car and 2 cabooses (a wrecker and a normal one)  and after about 5 laps, my bridge rattled loose my normal caboose. I did not catch this until my engines hit it. after my modification to rude weight, i had lost the screws that hold the trucks onto the caboose, so they came off and the body rolled abou 3 times while the engines just kept going. when they got back to the brigde, the trucks de-railed. I'm amazed that the engines made it to the turnout after the bridge before de-railing, but when they did, the fp9 flipped head-over-heels into the chair, and the fta went and pulled the track appart on both sides of the bridge. can anyone help explain what happened?

Can someone put pictures and explanations on how to identify the engines bnsf uses!!!?? 

what is gordan classified as i have been trying to count wheels, but the rear truck almost NEVER appears in any shot of him
