Does anyone here know if MTH is going to be producing anymore smoke fluid this year?

No I don't know but there is plenty of it sitting on store shelves ready to find a home. And there are several other brands that will work just fine in your engines.

Actually, I would really be surprised if MTH has ever produced any smoke fluid.  I'm certain they just have some it labeled for them.

There isn't much of it sitting opn the shelves here in California in the South Bay area.  They ocassionaly get it but it is gone quickly. Most MRR out here are HO or N who don't use as much smoke. I know mail order is an option but I don't want to pay 5-10.00 for a 6.00 bottle of smoke fluid. I have some but I wanted to order some before I run out. I just find that the MTH and JT's Mega Steam work the best at least for me. Maybe since it is getting close to the holidays they might get some here.

Kev,

Have you tried Arnie's in Westminster?  I'm sure they do, if not R Hobbies in La Mirada has it.

I went to Arnies and they said they had some and it was gone in a day or so.  Arnies is about 45 minutes from me and La Mirada is even farther. I haven't checked Allied in Culver city in a while as I never go there so I will check there and if not I'll have to suck it up and mail order I'll just have to make a large purchase to make it worth my while.
