Let's see your smoke pictures

"I've viewed your youtube FEF clip 100s of times!

 

Glad to know you are a member here.  Love the layout and the train.  Who made the passenger cars in the video above?  Like the UP grey cars."

 

was that The Run of the FEF?  one of the first i made.  i think i am better at it now, although that was a epic shoot.  have been thinking about recreating it once i get my City of Portland reconstituted.

 

the two tone grey cars are K-Line Heavyweights.  they were lettered for The Challenger.  i got another set of K-line Heavyweights from another road and had them repainted by jeff sohn and the named cars changed to the names of rivers in the Portland area (i grew up there).  added a weaver RPO car.  i put a Portland Rose drumhead on the Obs car and the consist became my Portland Rose.

Yes, it was the Run of the FEF.  

 

The cars look great in the new video!

 

Jeff does great work, I own a car painted by him.

Where there's smoke ....

 

Man Joe - that smokin' Blue Comet really looks sharp!

Lionel Shay and MTH Camelback:

 

 

My best smoke Job is a Video on my website:

See it Here or click the website link below.

On the website click the Big Boy facing right, it downloads the Video to you.

This is not mine and it is G scale, but this is the best.

 

No pictures of my locomotives smoking, but here is a shot of my smoke fluid tank train...

 

Lionel's Hot Box Reefer

Keith, is that the original smoke unit in that reefer? Or have you modified it?

It's all original, I haven't modified the smoke unit. That was when I first got it. It needs a lot of smoke fluid, though.

Ah, yes, the smoke-free, environmentally-friendly Evolution Hybrids.  

I can't get enough of this kind of layout quality. These are the rare ones where if you just handed someone the photo and said "here are some pictures of trains from the 1950's" in most cases they would be unable to determine that you were showing them a photo from a model RR layout. Just amazing stuff. Really keeps me "stoked" about the hobby!

Rich is one of the best at making a scene 'come alive'!  

 

Been a fan of his work even before I became a member here.  Great stuff 

Every other possibility was a failure   Godzilla still terrorized the NJ HiRailers  At the last moment they rolled out the Centipede abd Godzilla got all choked up

 

 

This fella has several nice steamers operating on his floor layout. Am guessing this is the MTH model and am curious about the UP heavyweights. They appear slightly larger than the Hudson (MTH is 1:32) while Aristo and USA Trains are both 1:29 if I remember correctly. This could account for the perceived difference.

What a smoker however....

 

Check out the ten-wheeler........

That is hilarious!!

I think that guy in the G scale Hudson video, not only makes his own smoke units, I believe he mixes kerosene (or something) with the oil???

This is not mine video, but another fun video to watch with a USA Trains Big Boy

with ProtoSounds 2 filling up a room with lots of smoke!

 

 

 

Must have been the MTH model, it does lay a smoke trail!

 

A scale PRR Turbine with a modicum of smoke (prototypical?)...

I'm jealous Joe!!  My Baby Blue Comet doesn't smoke anywhere near that well.

Love the 4-6-0's:

Matthew-  It looks like your Reading was smoking like a Corvair.  Take care.

Now Godzilla is probably in a Nursing Home wishing he did not breathe in so much smoke when he was younger......LOL!
