Lee; I think you need a new wife! Or maybe a ventilation fan.

Seriously, I run smoke most of the time running steamers, but diesels not so much.

I just think it looks so much more realistic and adds to the enjoyment. Visitors are knocked out by smoking locomotives. I mean they love the smoke; not that they are overcome and need resuscitation.

Just my .02 worth.
