Benji derailed his K4 and broke the pilot bogey (4-wheel).  Bachman does not have and does not know if they will have until April.  Any suggestions?  The part number is HB1407.  Thanks for any help.

I have a Spectrum Dash 8 with CSX markings (#7661)  Item No. is 83505.  I would like to add sound.  Is a sound decoder available and is this a "big" job to add sound?  Thanks.

I'm making a fairly large layout which will run up to 5 DCC locos and 1 analog loco.  There is about 80 feet of track.  I have two issues:

1.) Will I need more power than I can get from a standard DCC controller to run efficiently?  That is, will I need the 5 watt power boost to get the most out of this layout?

2.) I plan a reversing loop in this layout.  Is the best way to avoid the reversing polarity with DCC to use the Bachmann reversing loop module and the insulating track sections?

These q's are probably pretty old, but any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Benji has a new DCC (Santa Fe F-7) train.  It runs fine, but I've not been able to find the right function to blow a whistle.  Do all trains not have this function?  I would think this would be a standard on any train???  Thanks.
