The WOMAN engineer's voice is a good addition. In 1974 Christine Gonzalez became the first woman engineer on a Class 1: the Santa Fe.

For modern day railroading, not a problem at all. I'm perfectly good with it. If I were to buy this set, I'd be just fine with a female engineer's voice. As a matter of fact, Kudos to Lionel for not mentioning it in their advertising. Who cares, know what I mean?!?!?!?

However, my main modeling interest is pre-1974. No women engineers for me in this time frame, thanks. I'm far more into prototypical and historical accuracy than I am PC insanity. Gurly men and feminists may object, but oh well. rolleyes 'Tis what it is.
