Terrific progress on your Hudson!  With regards to the smoke unit, the Hudson originally came with a Seuthe smoke unit.  I have 2 engines that use these units.  They produce a lower volume of smoke that is not as offensive and may be what you are looking for.  My big piece of advice however is to only use the smoke fluid that is recommended for these units.  The usual smoke fluids burn too hot and will burn out the unit (I found that out the hard way!).  Other retailers may offer these units and fluid, but I purchased mine from DCC Trains.  Here is a link for both the replacement units and fluid:

Best of luck in your project - it looks great and nice work!

Hello rjsmithindy

Thank you for your kind words, it has made my day today !    I have 2 more things that needed to be done before painting which is #1, adding boiler weight to the front of the engine to "balance the engine" so that the front first driver will have same amount of weight as the rear third driver for better tracking over the switches and crossings as right now the engine is "rear" heavy ,"light" front.  And # 2, make mounts for the 2 cast metal air compressors from Bowser as this Hudson didn't come with those.   Thank you for the link of the smoke unit as it is just what I been looking for.

"And it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoice over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing: and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.  Deuteronomy 28:63 NKJV (New King James Version)
