Sad indeed that these new 4-4-0's have no smoke, no engine sounds, no steam whistle, no bell, no voice and are way over priced at $2200 for the pair. What is inside the tender? Providing "something" in a trailing car reminds me of the Railsounds box car from yesteryear, not acceptable in today's expected techno world. Also, where is the history of this occasion? Much of it belongs in the engines. Also it should have been provided in depth with the introduction of the product.
Lionel should rethink this product.
