Mike Reagan entertains and answers questions. Fastest draw in the west!
That is just too cool! 
If we don't get this answered before April, here's the first question for the April LUG meeting: where/when can we get one of those awesome Cab2 holsters?
Seriously, it would be a great accessory for people in modular clubs (or with big layouts). I would also suggest adding some belt loops to hold smoke fluid (sized for both Lionel and Mega-Steam bottles).

They are made by Victor at Imperial Trains. Not sure they are for sale but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I would imagine you'd have to buy your own Lionel patch and add it yourself though.
And I thought I had too much time on my hands LOL!
Small Correction Marty:
Newer smoke unit chambers made of non metallic product. Should eliminate 3 blinks of Cab light which indicates resistor to case short.
The 3 blinks are Smoke unit 1 Fan error. This is not related to the non-metallic bowl. The 3 blink code occurs when a Fan Motor jams or has insufficient power to spin (low track voltage, etc). The 2 Blink error would happen if the element has over current (ie: shorted to metallic bowl), or under current (ie: broken wire, open winding).
Thanks Jon... Appreciate that. : )
I've seen a number of three-blink errors, but so far I've not seen the two blink error. Is that really a big problem?
Yep. Well at least for mine. The resistor can shift slightly contacting the side of the bowl.
The 2-blink error is very rare; and with the plastic bowl is less common. Also a reason for 2-blink errors is the screws that hold the element can work loose and then the resistance in the circuit can rise and trip the detector.
Another important item!
We were able to duplicate the sound playing on the non-lead loco in a train when in the Reverse direction when it should not, and we will correct this in the loco code going forward. To work around the problem, select a train in the range of 1-9; or use Legacy V1.51 to turn off the horn & dialog on the non-lead loco.
Jon,
thanks for posting the work around
