Reply to "Adding a smoke unit"

I can do this type of work, but here is your problem.  The Switchers that have smoke use a small smoke unit and flash code that support it.  Room is really tight in the switchers and all the brackets and mounting that support a smoke unit that you can easily do maintenance on is not a readily purchased item.  The smoke units I have. 

Then you need the flash code, but since this is not made for smoke I am not sure what the SF flash code supports.

The tether for a unit like this will also probably require coming thru the shell.  It will also require a bulky looking connector between the two units if we use MTH type.  I custom make harness when I need to but time is $$$.

I am also not sure what the trucks look like on your calf so a picture would help, but some dummy trucks are not made to take pickup which would also add time and effort to mount, and some are not set up to take electro couplers.

So how much do you want to spend on this?  Smoke units run $35 to 50 each, Funnel or custom funnel more $$, Couplers $12, Harness set up $20-30, Pickups $10 or some, plus labor. 

If the PS-3 flash code does not support correct smoke unit it can't work.  If there is no room in the Cow, same problem.  G
