I decided to do some smoking.

Nice. I can only get my postwar Lionel engines to smoke like that. Newer stuff, no luck.

Fun videos. Which smoke fluid products were used?

No problem with MTH smoke units, they do have the king of smoke design.

Does anyone have pictures of the MTH smoke unit - out of the loco showing its components?

Here's a thread about smoke units, including various MTH models.

I use megasteam and some times photosmoke.

You would have to upgrade the smoke units.As to which would fit and how it would work I do not know.

I've put MTH smoke units in a bunch of different locomotives to replace either the mechanical smoke unit or the Seuthe smoke unit.  I use a variety of sizes, depending on the specific locomotive.

It is now legal to turn your camera ninety degrees so that it's frame more closely matches the format of computer screens. Do you see the black on each side of your videos ? That is because the window for loading videos and photos is in a  horizontal format most of the time.  Trains are inherently a horizontal subject turn your camera to match your subject and you will have to move the camera less. Do you have a TV that is mounted on the wall in a vertical position ?  There is a reason that TV screens and movie screens are in a horizontal format, most of what you see in the world when you look around is in a horizontal format.   Love the smoke rings.        j

We were all able to get your point about the smoke, which was certainly impressive.

I'll agree, though, that doing iPhone videos of model trains is easier on the eyes in horizontal format.  Maybe you can post some new ones.  Always glad to see what others are doing with their trains.

Good glad you liked it.

Warning!  The Surgeon General has determined that smoking may cause laziness in adults, may also lead to the munchies.
