I seen that in the description...I've watched available youtube videos but oddly enough I haven't seen it in action...makes me wonder if its a typo.

looks like Jr Junction Train & Hobby Syracuse New York - Jr Junction Train & Hobby
has them in stock. Maybe you could ask them.

It’s not a typo. They are equipped with whistle steam.

I own one (20-3905-1 w/ the PT Tender.)
They do have functioning whistle steam. This is first of the MTH whistle steam equipped locomotives that I have struggled with putting in fluid. The engine is in it's box at the moment, but I recall that on this one, rather than the whistle having the hole for the steam, the hole is directly below the whistle, similar to Lionel.
How do you activate the smoking whistle?

By turning on FSW (AKA- steaming whistle) on a DCS remote OR the upgrade version of the DCS app with a full TIU WIU. Note- the DCS Explorer cannot activate it- a limitation of the software.
MTH steaming whistle again- requires FULL DCS to enable and also- will not work in conventional.
Given they haven't released the WTIU- and are still selling us these engines with steaming whistle- not an ideal time for many folks in the hobby.
And even though I have requested several times and offered ideas- even paid upgrades for those stuck on an explorer- it falls on deaf ears at MTH and MTH R&D.
Thanks for the solid info Vernon.....I was wondering where you were, as I hadn't seen you post in a while.
Even prompted me to speak to Gunrunner John about your absence. He wasn't sure either.
Good to hear from you again.

FYI, the smoking whistle feature is available under dcc control. Though I realize this doesn't help those who don't use dcc.
