Reply to "Lionel Smoke Question"

Hey Phrankenstign, I run locos with regular puffer type smoke units. The regular smoke fluid that comes with the engine really doesn't perform very well. Instead try the Premium Lionel Smoke Fluid... I have found it is a huge improvement, even with the puffer smoke units in starter types of steam engines, and even pulling shorter trains (thus using lower voltage to the track).

Just for your info, I've also tried the Mega-Steam, along with smoke fluids by Crest, Williams, and Model Power. They all work better than does the normal included regular Lionel smoke fluid. My preference from the list above is the Model Power brand, but given they're all made overseas, it could be darn close to the others.

But my first choice above all those is the Premium Lionel Smoke Fluid. It will never be equal to like having a fan driven smoke unit in the engines. But still, it's a vast improvement. So much so I've had visitors ask if I installed fan driven smoke units in them.

So give the Premium type a try.
