I asked this question in "General Discussion" and I will ask it here too. I am currntly rebuilding a couple of the GP38's in my collection with a new paint job and the new fan driven smoke unit and "led" lights . The original circut board for the smoke unit will only handle one of the new fan units not two as I originally wanted to install even though the board did run two of the older smoke units. It seems that the new smoke units don't get hot enough if I plug in two . I'm thinking of getting another board and using one board per smoke unit . What do you think? Also the new units have another plug to run the small motor for the fan . I pluged them into the main board where the lites would normally go but like the lights getting brighter as you advance the throttle the motor goes faster .I guess i'm asking has anyone out there done this modification and how did you do it ? What if I got the main board and the smoke unit board for the USA SD70 mac and put it in the GP-38 would that work?
yes...

Talked to someone at "Charlie Roe" and he is sending me out a couple of their new circut boards . He also told me that the new runs of the GP38's have two fan driven smoke units in them . Can anyone verify this?
