Yes, because it is both truth and fact.
I suggest you do little searching around the net
for what a working steam locomotive sounds like.
There a several YouTube videos of various steam
locomotives working on freight. The 4014 sounds
nothing like those, because it is working minimally
if at all.
Perhaps a bit of effort an your part would help open
your eyes. And mind.
