playing sound loops

Using the PICAXE 14 Audio Kit or Budget Serial MP3 Player Kit is it possible to play loops? I read that there is a 4 second delay when playing sounds. Is this between each track or when setting up? I am automating my model railway using picaxe. I can play a sound when the train is slowing down or starting up or continuous running but is there a 4 second gap between each sample?I am anticipating putting the player kit in the tender of a loco or a coach. I think that I could trigger events using magnets and reed relays but is it possible to play the sound of a train stopping by detecting the voltage drop or the sound of the train starting off by detecting the voltage increase? I am using dc and a traditional transformer not DCC. I have a lot of sound effects in wav and mp3 format.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Best wishes .....
