Reply to "why do they make diesels with smoke units?"

My personal opinion is that the problem with requests for realistic features such a this is that once one becomes available attention is drawn to the next that is missing. The quest never ends. And with increased features and details the odds of something breaking or not working increase, fueling additional threads. O Gauge trains have slowly evolved from toys to models to attempts to create exact miniature duplicates in every detail and function. When a detail on a new model is wrong or missing, many here seem to describe the feature as not merely something they want to have but as something they need to have, as if their trains are going to be functioning in the real world. In a few cases it almost seems delusional. Without question this is a free country and we can want or request anything we desire, and many new features over the decades have given real increase in "play value",  but it just seems as if some have replaced the joys this great hobby once brought them with the frustration of an unreachable goal.
