The "first run" of the SP cab forwards, was, as best as I can remember, a JLC version with only 2-chufs per revolution and an incorrect whistle. I purchased one, that was discounted, in an un-opened box, then sent it Train America Studios for up-grade to 4-chuffs per revolution and a more appropriate SP style whistle. It still runs great!
The newer/latest Vision Line cab forward, has Legacy sound and special features, plus was available in different road numbers, as well as a "Daylight painted" version (obviously fantasy). Cost a LOT more money too!
Hot Water, can the whistle still be upgraded? On older model TMCC models it could be done by changing out an IC.

If you can find the correct Lionel part number for the specific "sound chip" you desire, I believe Lionel is still selling such "sound chips" for the older TMCC units, i.e. Rail Sounds 4 and/or 5".
