If I'm interested in these, I plunk out the MTH bucks and get a much better locomotive.
BTW, I hope Lionel fixes this before they ship theirs!
- RailSounds RC sound system with diesel revving and background sounds, bell and user-activated announcements
Sad when they dont even care enough to proof read their catalogs etc....
