A comedian has spoken. I see why those pads are there .A o-scope tells all almost. And the sound decoder still works better stop there.

What would you be using to generate the "smoke"?
Have you not read many times here, that most recommend against "smoke" as it creates a mess, that settles on the tracks and causes "why won't my loco run?" kinds of situations?

Broken Rail;
I had posted earlier with regards to the logistics faced by a company such as Bachmann. I can accept that what they do for the most part, is a generalization of a specific wheel arrangement. If I want to pursue a specific product, I will use the otherwise fine-running model that is close. It is when they start getting prototype specific that prices will, like brass, become high, or they will just discontinue this endeavor.
Before Proto/Lifelike got picked up by Walthers-and they might still-they had a line of foam containers, such as coolers. I would not be too surprised to discover that Bachmann was involved with the same type of approach. We do what we must in order to accomplish what we love.

This came up for discussion several years ago.
The Bachmann response was not enough $$ to be had in the sales of and production and marketing of undecorated locos. Sorry brokenail
