So, MTH announced around a year ago that it was going to finally incorporate a steam whistle into its steamers - in about a year. Great news for those of us who like MTH and steam effects!  Well, it seems like it's been a year or maybe more. Any word yet?  I entered the hobby almost 3 years ago and was a total MTH fan thinking they were the innovator. Bought purely MTH - till I saw Lionel offered steam whistle, cylinder steam, blow down effects, etc.  Since then, despite wanting several MTH offerings, I have given Lionel all my business.  More features. similar quality. Wondering if anyone knows the status of the MTH steam whistle?

Something like York 2007 or 2008 it was announced - before Lionel. Some G Gauge engines came with the smoking whistle, no O Gauge engines that I know of. Best to contact MTH for info/update. I would think with the smaller PS3 boards, they are getting closer to offering it.
