In my small fleet of Lionel 4-4-2's, the Premium Lionel Smoke Fluid has the most visible smoke output, hands down. I don't know what the chemical difference is between the basic and premium Lionel smoke fluids, but there is obviously a big difference in smoke output.
As a side note, I've never had any luck with the Seuthe Smoke Generators, like the ones used by K-Line in their starter set steam engines. Williams at one time was also using them. Even using the Seuthe brand fluid only, they still don't last very long.
I don't think they're being made now, but Model Power had a visually similar version of the Seuthe Smoke Generator, that I had much, much better luck with. I've had the Model Power ones last for several years. They of course recommend using only the Model Power Smoke Fluid, so that's how I stumbled into that one.
Bachmann, also makes some affordable smoke generators that I have also had very good luck with. And the Bachmann units work equally well with any brand smoke fluid.
