Honestly, I have to agree the J/Blue Comet whistle does sound more appropriate.
I think Lionel is still selling the replacement Blue Comet Legacy Lite sound board from 2013, so some might be able to do a quick board swap here if the boards are still the same construction.
Anyone ever replace a sound board? Is soldering involved?
