Don't get me wrong I love Lionel and have been collecting for over 40 years but I was frustrated on this one taking 3 or so years to get out to the public. This has happened with other accessories. I wound up building one 4 months ago using the same building as the one TAS used. It works great! I got a call about a month ago from a hobby shop in Georgia where I must have pre-ordered the Smoke Fluid Loader when it was up for pre-order. My cost was much cheaper then the new selling price so I bought it. I guess I am glad I haven't had it out of the box yet. I'll wait for Lionel to offer the hose. Also glad I visit this site often.
