thx everyone, I'm up and moving!! but one more thing.

just ran my train and loving it!! went to the store and got the pressure lock on that works the semaphore and working awesome. now i have to find a way to hook up a bell button… shouldn’t be hard to find… any suggestions? I have a #604 loco N.P. and just has running sounds. any way to work the command stuff on it? the whistle on the transformer (lw toy master 125 watt) isnt doing anything but making the lights brighter…does this have any sounds that i can tap into? thanks for your help.

all smiles,
Cade[:D][:D][:D]

Do you have Lionel TMCC or MTH DCS-2 capabilities? Either one should run command sounds or most other features of a new locomotive.
