I'm picking up a diesel project that I left off a few months ago, when I was at the stage close to adding radiator and dynamic brake fans. At the time, there were a couple online stores with one or two remaining Cannon fans in stock, and I regret not buying then as I can't find any now. Shortline CAD seemed like a viable alternative, and I was hoping they would be back in a few months, but they are not back yet.
What options do I have for see-through fans? I am looking for two 36" GP35 style fans and two low profile 48" radiator fans with plain grilles, not cap top. These are what I know of, and nothing seems all that great right now:
Cannon - seems like out of production indefinitely
Atlas - 36" fans out of stock and no plain grille option for 48"
Shortline CAD - closed indefinitely?
Athearn - Expensive, as fans only come in sets that I will not fully use. Also can't find good pictures.
Plano - No fan housings, would need to find a source.
Smokey Valley/Train Ready Products - Unsure if site is still active, only generic 48" available
Are there any manufacturers I missed? What are other folks using?
