I have numerous engines with roof fans;
is there an MTH or Lionel engine that has roof fans sized similar to the ones you want?
Also where to you want the fans' edge flange?
Are the fans to be installed on top or pushed in underneath?
I can make the fan blades as part of the roof fan inside underneath.
I think I can make them rotatable.

1) No. I need 1/32 scale cooling fans ideally.

Most available Lionel and MTH parts are O scale. They are about 1/3 smaller??

2) The fans (housings) would sit on top of the engine.

Some fans in G scale, have two piece housings. The blades are trapped inside and spin. Most all are in 1/29 scale and only USA trains are available that I know about.

I don't care if they spin or not.

The dynamic brake should be 1/32 scale also. I tried to recast the USA trains version which is 1/29 scale.
