Just a comment....your post sort of reads like a radio/telegram message without the punctuation.

The 1835e won't reverse. Did.

The levers are reverse lockouts. If you moved the lever, applied power and it reversed, and you turned the lever back...and it won't reverse now...that is normal.

We are talking a late 30's standard gauge Lionel unit and not a new mth/Lionel remake, right?

How did you replace the motor?

It sounds like your problem with the whistle is either the relay or the whistle controller. Trying reversing the wires on the 167 and see if that has any effect. If not, the relay coil might be missing a connection somewhere, either the ground where it screws to the whistle or one of the wires going into the coil.
