Is there an electronic reverse unit for a 314AW that takes into account the whistle relay and whistle?
Or can you wire around the reverse unit and remove it and still keep the whistle functionality?

Take a look at the 314AW wiring diagram in the Gilbert Factory Service Manual. The reverse unit is wired in parallel With the whistle system across the two tender pickups. Just substitute the power input wires for the Electronic reverse unit for those from the Gilbert unit. Note that the wiring diagram shows the tender chassis is used as one of the power pickup conductors rather than a wire. The factory Service Manual is online at myflyertrains.net.
Will do. Thanks for the information Tom.

The Dallee 400 is commonly used for this Gilbert application. It is rated for 4A, more than adequate and is small.
