Let the sum of the first $N$ terms of an arithmetic sequence $\{a_n\}$ be $S_n$, with $a_2=8$ and $S_{10}=185$. For each positive integer $k$, insert $3^{k-1}$ instances of the number $3$ between $a_k$ and $a_{k+1}$ to form a new sequence $\{b_n\}$.  
(1) Find the general formula for the sequence $\{a_n\}$.  
(2) Find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{b_n\}$, denoted as $T_n$.
