the 2-10-4 just came todayand behold it has sound i don't honestly know what the issue was with it not moving but i did it when i tested it opened the bottom and moved the gears just little bit and it freed up and i running now but it is a little sluggish but I'm use a power pack from my daughters "Emily" set from Thomas the Tank Engine but it seams to be getting fast the longer i let it run on her track. so hopefully it was a good investment .

no i haven't bought it yet but i was asking all these question before i buy the K-4 to find out if it was worth the price cause i have only been looking to get one for 10-15 years and the reason it took so long is the DCC / Sound dilemma and when i worked for the model train shop in my area the guys all steered me from buying a Spectrum K-4 cause they had problems.  the other reason i asked if it can be added to older locos is because of all the stuff i got when i worked at the model train shop i think DCC and sound was just starting to come into the shop .

i don't have the 2-10-4 yet but as soon as i get it i will let you know. and i gave the wrong # it is 84014 not 84403.

thanks for more info cause what i was looking at getting was a Spectrum PRR K-4 with dcc but it doesn't say anything about sound (Bachman #84403) and i just bought a Spectrum  PRR 2-10-4 that i think has a motor problem but i wanted to add DCC or Just sound to it and make it work I'm trying to go DCC but i don't know all the stuff i have to buy yet either i was looking to get a MTH commander pack to run my DCC stuff . What i have now is all older Power packs Tyco, Bachman, MRC, and a "Black Box" Hogger and i heard the hoggers are the worst thing to run smaller trains with cause my collection is N, HO, O and G scale and i use the hogger for just about everything but the O scale .

can you add sound to a loco that has DCC in it already and can you add dcc and sound to older straight dc locos . sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but i want to go to dcc and sound but i dont want to replace every one of my old dc locos in my collection
