At some point, Big Orange changed this feature to mostly Vision Line only....which I think was a mistake. Why add Whistle Steam....and then go cheap on the sound? (Actually, the prices went up and the loco specific sound disappeared.)
You can save money when a genetic dialog can be used across multiple models. Simple economics.
I don't care how much money Lionel makes. I care about the quality of the product I receive and what I pay for said product.
Certain features, like Whiste Steam and excellent sound quality, can be intensive works of engineering.
Not using sound files that you already have is simply being cheap and inexcusable....and lazy.
Or, it may be another sign that the 15 year old girl putting the locomotive together in China really has no idea what she is doing.....and QC is not existent.....like on pink 611 Stripes, Neon Green Challengers and Mallets......and on and on.
