I believe the O.P. of this old thread may be mistaken.

The original Legacy GS4 offering 4436 does indeed have 4449's whistle tone. ( I think Hotwater can attest to this)  This is also the 1st whistle tone on the new model.

Yes, that model of the GS-4 #4436 did indeed have the correct whistle sound, in spite of some other glaring physical "errors" on that model. I seem to remember that the next Lionel models of the SP GS-4 (don't remember if they were Vision Line or not) did NOT have the correct whistle.

Some folks need to realize that the Legacy quillable whistle is only 3 tones stepping up. It is not infinitely variable like an actual cable operated whistle which has a much wider range.
