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

I am interesting putting one in but not sure in how to control the voltage to not go over the 10/14 volt range.  Is there a board to control the voltage to 12 volts max. to the smoke unit ?   I t may require the voltage up to 14 volts to get the train up to speed to say about 60 to 80 scale MPH ( passenger train speed) ?  Any ideas as I do want to put the Seuthe unit # 6  (10/14 volt AC/DC) model in this Hudson.

Thank you for your kind words sir !
