Why so few cabooses with flashing rear lights?

Hey Folks,

Seems like there is a plethora of lighted cabooses for O gauge out there, both past and present.  But, surprising to me, so very few with flashing rear lights.  I wonder why?

I have a Menards with the flashing lights, which is a great looking car, but sadly the coupler is a real problem when connected to a Lionel lobster claw.  (Mine will only stay on the track if connected to an old heavy steel logging car.)

I see that there is currently a Lionel flashing light and smoking caboose, but to me, they are really really expensive.  ($85 or so.)

Anybody know of any other past or present cabooses, whose couplers will work with the lobtser claws, that have a flashing red light or yellow light?

(I see these little add on kits, that require a battery, but those are not for me.)

Thanks for any info.
