Hi Brian, They have quite a bit of what you are looking for in the Walthers 2002 catalog. But, the key is...they are NOT cheap. A lot of the signals and detection units to trigger the signals are highly expensive. If you have any electronics know-how, you can build your own. Parts are readily available at Radio Shack, esp the little green and red LED lights for the signals. You would need opto sensors for the signals to be triggered by trains though. As I said, Circuitron makes a lot of what you are looking for, but they aren't cheap. As for locomotives, most require microchips for that kind of thing to work-bells, lights, etc. I haven't seen too many of those that are cheap either. Some good ones will allow lights, though I haven't seen anything with a bell. Circuitron also offers kits for locomotives-bells, lights, etc, and they offer FRED units too. But, again, they are not cheap. Most items they carry are around $30-50... Hope this helps. -Wolv33
