@LionelAG posted:Thanks all for the responses! Not anything hugely surprising in everyone's remarks. Follow up questions for those deeply in the know:
- Does shutting of the smoke unit from Cab-2 really any different from shutting down the smoke unit from the manual switch on the locomotive?
- None that is significant. Obviously, the manual switch makes sure it won't come on by accident if that's an issue with you or your running environment.
- For regular/extended running, do most of you keep the smoke units off?
- Depends on the environment and the audience.
- A smoke unit full of fluid (24-48 drops) is not lasting more than ~30mins, correct?
- 30 minutes is excellent if you get that much out of a single fill
- Smoke fluid types to stay away from (non-Lionel obviously)?
- IMO, that's horse pucky. I use JT's Megasteam as to many others here.
- Smoke unit capacities by locomotive tend to vary, correct?
- Correct, there are many sizes of smoke units.
