Actually since I took those new picts I have change the design again. I changed
the gearing ratio on the fans and now you can actually see the fans move. They
move faster now. I also changed the crown gears out to regular pulleys. It
looks better but it doesn't look like a fan. I actually have another idea with
propellers not sure though how well it will look.

While in theory that would be the way to go you can't use an independent
battery power on the train because when you do the power gets transfered to the
tracks and causes all types of issues because they are part of the same system.
If I was to Isolate the lights from the actually power of the motors t might
work. Only thing is I would have to make some unwanted modification to get the
smallest of battery boxes inside somewhere where it doesn't change the model
itself. I might be able to come up with an alternative.
