Reply to "Blue or pink smoke ideas?"

Interesting thoughts! My idea was to have the train come out of a tunnel puffing smoke like normal, but have the smoke be blue or pink instead of white...

 I don’t know if a single puff of color would be what I was looking for, and getting it to trigger on a moving train would be interesting. Could be made to work, but the technical bits would be interesting...

Combustion is too risky, not really interested in setting an engine on fire accidentally, so I think that the colored smoke bomb idea is disqualified... side note, I think this is probably how they got the real 261 to put out pink smoke, it didn’t look like the engine was steamed up at the time...

I wonder if an LED in the smokestack could be used to light up the “smoke” with blue or pink (red) light. Would it block the flow? Would it be visible enough? I might try experimenting with this idea...
