Bachmann smoke units and LGB Smoke Fluid

[FBGardens]

Is the smoke unit in the Bachmann 2-8-0 compatible with LGB smoke fluid?

I don't know about the 2-8-0, but I have used it in other Bachmann locomotives without any problems.

I'll second that, Jim.  My Annie blows smoke with the best of them. Well, not really, but several manufacturers' fluid works well.

Too, many members have voiced their opinions that this stuff really gunks up track, etc.  A local man who has an extensive O-gauge layout in his basement uses lots of the stuff in smoke machines to simulate bldgs on fire, steamers running around, etc.  Our local scout troop visited one time, and some of the kids were hacking and coughing after a session.

I prefer to use smoke outside, or with all the windows open if my kids use it inside.
