I just got a GP 40 loco and would like to have sound with it can this be done and ho hard is to add.

I would like to thank all of you for your input. In trying to find the problem with my tender wheels and the flashing lights. I may have caused the ez comand to fry by disconnecting the track and reconnecting it with the power still connected and on the the ez command unit. I foud that is a big no no. I have orederd a new ez command and will be more careefull in the future. The locomotive has been sent back for replacement also.

Pacific Northern  I see from another posting that you use e-z command control. If my unit is burned up would it be better to look at an other DCC controller or get another e-z command unit? I am new to this DCC and do not what controllers are better than others. but looking for the most cost effective unit also

I was running two trains both DCC from one E-Z Command Control center. while running a new 2-6-0 Mogul locomotive the power light and the light beside the number 1 started to flash and both locomotives stoped like the stop button was pushed. I checked both locomotives and found that when I placed the tender of the new locomotive on the track is when the lights would flash. I also found that this is the same thing that happens when some metal object falls across the tracks. Just as I decided that there must be a short circuit in the tender the lights on the E-Z Command controller went out and the unit does not work. should there be a short circuit detection devise between the E-Z Command control center and track. has any ever had this problem?

i have a 2-6-0 Mogul that after three days of running a shrot circuit cane in the tender where the sound unit i and it caused my E-Z Command control center to short out and now I cannot even run the other train.
