Micro Mark has a standardized smoke unit for any thing only Its not cheap but very realistic. And Bachmann has a standardized smoke unit but its cheap and delicate so I would go with micro mark.

General Discussion / The Wreck of the old 97
August 03, 2011, 07:51:01 PM
don't forget to mourn,on september 27, the famous train wreck that inspired the ballad:
The Wreck of the old 97


They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Saying, "Stevie, you're way behind time.
This is not 38, but it's Old 97,
You must put her into Spencer on time."

He looked 'round and said to his black greasy fireman,
"Just shovel in a little more coal,
And when I cross that old White Oak Mountain
You can just watch Old 97 roll."

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville,
And the lie was a three-mile grade,
It was on that grade that he lost his air brakes,
And you see what a jump that she made.

He was going down the grade making 90 miles an hour,
When his whistle began to scream,he was found in
the wreck with his hand on the throttle,scalded to death
by the steam.

Now, ladies, you must take warning,
From this time now and on.
Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband.
He may leave you and never return.
