The Big Boys, FEFs, and Challengers all did have Hancock 3 Chimes, but having all of them sound the same is simply unrealistic. Lionel's Vision Big Boy, 2015 FEF, and now the most recent Vision Challenger all have the exact same whistle sound. If you were to run these engines all together, it would sound extremely unprototypical.
Check this out from the UP Historical Society. 12 recordings of Hancock 3 Chimes on FEFs, Challengers, and Big Boys. All the same design, but VERY different sound!

Fortunately for me, I have the 2008 FEF, JLC Legacy 4014, and now this one. At least two should be different.

Very glad to see Big Orange stepping up here. The OP's video looks and sounds great. That's almost exactly what I was shelling out 1600+ bananas for.
