OK I get that this is a $129 engine, and don't expect the $700+ MTH/Lionel sound quality, but couldn't they do a better job of engine noise, like make the sound continuous rather than that "hiccuping" engine sound clip repeating over and over? Surely with sound software being readily available, it shouldn't be that hard or involved to match ends of sound clips so they segue smoothly into each other. Of course there may be limited memory space so all they could do is a brief clip and the microchip just repeats it with a preceptable delay (I probably just answered my question ).
