Thanks for the information. There was information that the Lionel smoke units are supposed to rotate in a clockwise direction of rotation. Not cupping, rather displacing. Is this true for MTH as well? As our Lionel smoke units are anemic at 16 volts I've never bothered to look into them. In 12 feet an MTH locomotive can out smoke a Lionel one running for 150 feet.

Okay I'll bite, cause I'm always looking for a good tip (and the answers to things swirling around my head)...

Whats the recommended number of Smoke Fluid drops that folks typically use...???

Before storing an engine, would you lay a few drops in to keep the wick moist, or would run the smoke to completion (without burning the wick)...???

Do you run smoke at full volume at all times, as I'll assume that will reduce the units life expectancy...???

And if anyone has any idea on how to convince my wife that Smoke fumes smell great, and don't hurt the environment, I'd like to hear how you get around this one...lol...

The wife trick is use scented fluid that she likes the smell of.

Negative, John. I know for a fact that my wife likes cinnamon rolls.  I also know for a fact she has forbidden me to run my MTH "Cinnamon-Roll" branded smoke while she's awake.  

*I* think it smells great.

Doesn't help that the warnings on the bottle basically say you and all your children will die if they ingest any of the smoke liquid.  It's an exaggeration, but the label on the bottle makes it clear that the product isn't exactly "safe and friendly".
