If Lionel wanted to invest X amount of dollars in R&D for developing the doors, they would’ve. These are models that already have a niche market- O Gaugers willing to spend $2,000 on a train- which is the first reason i can see as to why they didn’t enhance the function. I understand it was a cool feature, but from a business perspective this makes plenty of sense. You can’t break the operating doors if you don’t put them on in the first place. Personally feel like it was a great move by Lionel. Just my honest opinion.
