Being a farm boy who doesn’t like a good cold start. Got me wondering why not on a Lionel diesel locomotive. Legacy has an extended start with crew talk. Could Lionel program a second feature that turns on the element during an even more extended crew talk sequence to buy the element more time to build up smoke. Then once the sounds of the engine starts, crank the fan to full and let it rip and then back down bringing the fan to low speed once started. It would really bring another level of realism to a diesel start up. (Of course this would be for the non tier 4 final emission engines)
