The fans are suckers. "Caution, hot while in use."

Hi listers,
I don't want to get technical, but aren't the fans used to "get steam up"
really suckers, not blowers? The blowers are part of the locomotive, bleeding
off steam pressure to create draught through the flues until exhaust takes over
this function. : )

Those folks that I have seen lately prefer the Wada Suction
Fan as it is all in one piece. Batteries are mounted on top
of the fan unit and seems to work reliably..

Your local Aster dealer sells them or you can cobble something together from
a small electric motor, fan blades, batteries, etc. Look at one (maybe an
Aster) to get an idea.
