I forgot to say that I would like the 2-8-4 Berkshire with sound

I was looking for something in 4-6-4 but the Bachmann range of steam locos is very limited as you have already found.
I ended up buying a couple of Broadway Limited Imports (BLI) locos. The sound is amazing.
In fact I wish my Dynamis controller had more than 20 function buttons to take advantage of the extra sounds.
They don't have a 2-8-4 listed in their catalogue but they do have several 4-8-4 locos.

you could make your own from feeder wires cut in half, connected to a terminal block. use the feeder halves to connect to the layout at various points, plus one to the dynamis. terminal blocks are readily available in radio shack.

I was hoping Bachmann had something I could use rather than "butcher" the modular system they have already created. Perhaps extra feeders aren't required with their setup.

I need some info in relation to DCC and NS E-Z track also.
I have a 5 meter x 2.5 meter double track oval with several siding in the middle and a total
of 6 DCC turnouts.
A lot of this track is 1 meter straights.
I'm using the standard E-Z Command Dynamis system with one feeder.
Everything runs fine but I'd like to add at least on more feeder.
I can't find anything made by Bachmann that has a central junction from the Command Station
to allow multiple feeders to run from it.
Basically I want a double adapter type accessory that connects to the Command Station.

Any help would be appreciated.

Trouble is, they have at least three strikes against them.

1)  The 4-6-4T is a most unusual wheel arrangement.

.....

I find that interesting. I like that configuration and was surprised that Bachmann didn't have a 4-6-4 steam loco.
I have two of their diesels but am now buying a BLI-2582 NYC J1e Hudson 4-6-4, #5344 Paragon2 Sound/DCC
