I'll have to revisit your site, there was something about exceeding it's download quota, but the pages I did get were interesting.

CBCNSfan said:AH! OK, that makes sense, I thought why would someone put a awful looking device on the stack of a real nice looking loco. Being somewhat of a nit picker it doesn't look prototypical to me (I'm from the steam ages)

modelbob said:No, it's basically just an electric "squirrel cage" fan to induce draft and get the fire going. It simply sets on the stack, and lifts off when you're ready. They're quite common around live steamers. Other groups use compressed air for the same purpose, depends on what you have handy...
modelbob said:How about some more info on the track as well? How long is it, and what kind of route does it have?
