I have received Bachmann new American 4-4-0, (DCC ready), for Chrismass. I would like to in stall a sound system in this train but after looking at the assembly sheet I can find no screws out side to take any body parts apart. I took the engine two local train stores, ask them if they could in stall the sound system, but they said they do not do that, and also they were not sure how to take the the engine or the tender apart, they think that it gust pops apart but it sure does not seem like it. I am not sure, something just not feels right.

I received a 4-4-0 American DCC ready. I want to put in dcc sound system but I do not know how to take the engine and coal tender apart, there is now screws to remove. I ask the two local train shops if they would install the system for me but they say that they do not install them and are not sure how to take this new engine apart. So I don't know if anybody can help me or not.

Hello, I have five engines on my layout. I use the DCC command controller to run all of these engines witch are all DCC Sound Value, and no DC type engines. I have had two of these controllers now for the past 2 years and about a year later this controller does not turn on, I may have used the controller one day then the next day when I turn on the power for the controller it does not turn on. I would like to know if I can test the controller power cord to see if it is the problem, and if not is there a replacement parts to rebuild the controller, so I do not have buy a new controller again, I do not want to replace this controller about every year or so, that is just to much money......
                       
                               Thanks Greg

I have tested the plug with a volt meter, I also have checked the receiver at the on off switch and found that the power is going threw the power switch but the rest of the mother board does not work.  I would like to know if Bachmann sell just the mother board or do you have to buy the hole unit.
