True, however, please note that THIS discussion/subject is on the 2-Rail SCALE Forum. Many/most modelers here are not concerned with "toy train" features, such as "smoke".
Haha! This type of answer always amuses me: 2-railers always give the "toy train" features like smoke the upturned nose treatment. I've always assumed that 2-rail scale is supposed to be synonymous with attempting as much prototypical realism as possible. If so, then what makes the this type of comment (Hot Water's or anyone else's) illogical and simply ridiculous, at least in my opinion, is that - last time I checked, ALL steam locomotives emitted steam. So, by definition, any model that reproduces this feature is more prototypically accurate (in this regard) than one that does not.
Now back to your regularly scheduled opinions ...

Thank you! It's just another way for snobby people to be snobby and look down their noses at 3 rail. IMHO.
