JGL, someone has already built a circuit to manage the smoke fan.
Super-Chuffer II

Yeah, I mentioned that in the edit like 10 minutes after I posted last night. Thinking more the super chuffer combined with the tach strip reader board of yours would probably be all you need. I'm not familiar with the specs of the super chuffer so un sure how it would be wired up in this case. The LCPE provides 5vdc to the smoke unit when the engine is moving in either direction after the 2nd or 3rd speed step, about 3vdc for those first steps, and 0 when in neutral.

John, Whats the P/N for that smoke unit. I thought about the smaller MTH unit I saw in a thread yesterday, GRJ posted up.

This is listed as: 680-1301-250 however looking closer it's one of those 'must contact lionel' parts. it was just the fan unit that was easiest for me to get to, but anything around that size should be able to be made to work.
