I'm not in support of this. Depending on the person, they might wish one to be in hot start mode while the others are not. I personally like to start a session with my steamers ready to go, but enjoy the startup sounds of a diesel.
Again, we can't employ a "this works for everyone" mentality, with so many users having their own unique preferences. We shouldn't be afraid of having more options...
I agree. We should not be afraid of having more options but, as you can see from the start of this lengthy thread, the Options Menu had become a mess and is now gradually being sorted out with a few redundant options removed and others re-organised.

In an earlier post, the animation tries to show how a slider for Simple - Advanced controls might be used to change many options at once while still allowing settings to be set individually as the user wishes.
The animation only includes the initial loco state for diesel engines, but I guess there would be extra checkboxes for steam and electric.
