Reply to "Lionel Smoke Question"

I'm not surprised that some of the history is difficult to find. As for smoke fluids, I've never heard of anyone who knew positively what the formula was for them. I got a glimmer of an idea in a post from a former Lionel employer (I'm blank on his name at the moment) as to the newest Lionel Premium fluid that it doesn't dry out when sitting. That seems like a reason to use it and forget the old ones. Do you know what the mechanics are on the older smoke units you have? Is it a platform that a pill would have rested on (they used to use a light bulb with a dimple in it) or is it a resistor in a pile of fiberglass?
