Interesting commentary. Although I think Legacy Railsounds is "best-in-class" technology for toy trains nowadays, I agree that Lionel has introduced numerous corner-cutting measures resulting reduced features and price/performance. Nowadays, it almost seems we need to fork over VL prices in order to get Railsounds features that were part of the everyday product line... for example, roadname/roadnumber-specific crewtalk/towercom announcements, and a nice variety of voice talent used when recording the dialogue. How many regular-line Legacy locomotives nowadays have the exact same engineer's voice or dispatcher's voice? Get's stale after awhile, and I can see why some folks may opt to not even use the feature when implemented that way.
