This thread states as much: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,1637993,1638059#msg-1638059

From the thread I conclude that the Valve Pilot recordings could be used to reward a crew for running their loco efficiently.

With a pair of travelers at each windowpane.

Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.

Let's be pleasant travellers; it's so short a ride."

Searchlight's AC44 is going to be released as a full scale model, with options to be 3D printed for 1" scale for enthusiasts, and narrow gauge for Latin American railroads.
