Does anyone have any interest in MTH producing a small GAS TURBINE UNIT with PS3, by gas turbine unit I mean the small postwar type that Lionel has re made over the years. ( like the 41 Army, 59 US Air Force, 42 Picatinny)

That would be cool, I'd love to see an updated one of those. It would be nice if Lionel would redo it with a can motor and sound as well. 
This might be achievable now due to the smaller electronic set ups available from the center cab and ho offerings.
Edit- for those who will be wondering, I was searching for postwar 41 switcher info when I found this thread.
If I could get a can motor into one of these, I think there's enough room to use the Cruise Commander Lite (yes, I saved some of these) and the Railsounds Commander to give it sound and cruise. With today's offerings, you could still use the Mini Commander II and the RS Commander.
I wonder if Frank Timko has ever stuffed a can motor in one of these?
I doubt I could cram in smoke...

Smoke is not that important to me, but just basic horn and bell sounds would be great, of course with functioning couplers to actually be a switcher. If they wanted add sounds to the army turbine unit that might prove a bit problematic. ( maybe they could record the noise one of those turbine drive Abrams tanks make!)
