QSI is indeed the programming group for the BLI / Atlas engines, but BLI and Atlas are the buyers and they are ones we must email and lobby to get what we want. Recently, I called BLI about the problem with the BLI Santa Fe and the PRR J1. Both engine had a problem with the puffing sound and needed a modification. BLI responded quickly by requesting the fix from QSI and the technical person informed me that QSI had received one each of the production model and were working on the fix. They probably knew they had a problem, but I doubt they would have fixed the problem if nobody called and complained about it. We buy the products and if we keep on buying them regardless of what quality or what options they offer, guess what, they will keep building them as they please. I am sure that QSI could record the various horns and program specific chips for each road name, but BLI or Atlas will have to demand that. If we request the correct horns and sounds for specific models, the quality of the products will get better. This problem is not important to everyone, but most of the importers will respond to requests if we can email and call them multiple times to make it known we want the real sound. I certainly am willing to call them for what I want as a phone call or email is an easy thing to do. Remember their advertisement, Authentic sounds!!!! We should hold them to it. If someone will make a list of the roads and horn sounds needed, we should all send them in and keep this item on their minds.
