Lionel generator car

Hi guys,

A while back I sent out a want ad for this lionel sound car.A user tipped me off to the fact these were never produced, cancelled due to lack of pre-orders.

This simply wouldn't do, I've got a train that needs one so I'm going with the next best thing. Having one custom made. After looking at my options I decided to go with a remake of the classic Lionel generator car instead of a true sound car. Mainly due to not wanting sound, not to mention it's less than half the cost.

Reading the instructions of the generator car it says while the simulated fan will work with the car in motion it's not recommended. Does anybody know why it wasn't recommended? What effect will it have on the car long term if this done and is there anyway to get the fan spinning with the doors closed? Anyway that's temporary that is, or a way that enables me to manually switch the effect on and off without messing with the doors?

Thanks for the guidance!
