I'm guessing the forward facing motor frees up space for the whistle steam plumbing. Having said that, the whistle was missing altogether from the K Line as well as the Legacy version. I recall a thread trying to find it on the prototype.
Since there was an " issue" with the K Line tooling used for the original Legacy run. I wonder if the " new" A1 due in the spring will end up with a forward facing motor like everything else.
I stopped trying to rack my brains around what they’re doing anymore, …..some of it makes sense, but most does not, ….and I think that sums it up,……they COULD do whatever they want, but I guess they have some sort of fixed parameters in a project budget they have to work within……and it’s a just a guess, but the only thing I can think of anymore, is that budget is mighty low,……
