Those are closed systems and would require licensing from MTH and Lionel, which adds cost plus the tech. This would be a $350 engine if they did that. Bluetooth requires an app to run, which are very expensive to build and maintain relative to this market sizeā¦I still cringe from past personal experience.
For the target market this price point and remote is fantastic. This is an awesome entry level offering
