Can anyone confirm that it the Polar Express engine above has whistle steam? There is no mention of it on the Lionel Website.

Picked mine up last weekend & everything functions as advertised. Whistle Steam was not advertised & either mine doesn't have it or it does not function. It does smoke nicely though. It's not a deal breaker but it was an assumption. I inquired hear on the forum and was told yes.

Of course, it be pointless to open it up if it's not a feature!

Too bad they haven't graduated to putting the switches under one of the domes on the boiler, makes it a lot easier to use them.

We were told years ago, if it's new tooling it is easily done. If they are using existing tooling then it's usually not financially feasible.  Not sure if this is lip service or not but it's not that big of a deal to me. Inconvenient once. After setting up, pretty much never touch them again. 

There are other issues I'd rather see them take care of.
