I envy all you guys who live near a Lionel dealer and you can just go over and buy 2 ounces of smoke fluid. But I live in a large metropolitan area with four Walgreen drugstores near me and no Lionel dealer anywhere. Last year I bought through mail order my first new Lionel steam engines since 1952. The new engines cost hundreds of dollars each and they came with strange, large, plastic syringes but no smoke fluid! How do I use that silly looking syringe? If I knew what to put in the smoke unit, I could go to any of many local drugstores and get the ingredients. I am suspicious, what are my grandchildren inhaling? Why is this such a secret? Are people getting rich from this $10 bottle? I bought the smoke fluid, paid shipping costs again, and waited weeks to see smoke for the first time.
