Smoke units and DCC

[brokenrail]

Finally a idea, thats a great start .Anybody know where to get one of those micro relays or this type of component that would offer the same effect of using the low current to switch a higher current on/off. A good vent fan in the train room came to mind since smoke is allowed .

I think you are missing a few things...

[brokenrail]

Yep

[billgiannelli]

I am just curious would adapting an electric cigarette be workable? its supposed to be just water vapor and would eliminate the oil residue. just a thought.....

It would also  probably  melt your  loco and the "vapor" is not manufactured to be compaitble with the materials of train .

[billgiannelli]

well, that would not be good!

Metal smoke boxes will work.I have noticed many of Bachmann steam engine have the smoke box that can be separated from the boiler.There 's a idea  for a metal part upgrade,  and to add a little weight and a smoke/vapor option kit.

If you really want smoke, you could take up live steam modeling.

That's British steam, not "Euro steam."  How dare you!!!!!   

Calling Brits "Euros" will get you the same result as when Euros call Canadian "American".
