Kelpieflyer,

Nothing beats the smell of original American Flyer smoke.

Isn't THAT the truth!  Throughout the years that I had my shop I bought several different company's "American Flyer' smoke fluid. One even claimed they had the 'original' formula but none of them smelled like what I remember.  One time I came across a plastic locomotive that ran on battery power from the 1960s that had smoke and whatever was still in the unit smelled EXACTLY like the AF fluid in the red capsules. I also remember that they were quite expensive for me at the time when I had my trains from 1950 - 1959 or so...    Weren't they $1.25 a box?  My allowance was only a quarter!
