quoted from ctt article
Fortunately, no 196 pellets have survived, because they naturally decay and disintegrate over time, leaving only a trace of dust in the bottom of the pellet bottle. This benevolent phenomenon provides a strong case for belief in Divine Providence. As I recall, the smoke produced by the 1946 pellets wasn't all that spectacular anyway - about the same as that emanating from the later heater coils units. I have a 1946 Turbine with the bulb intact, which I've been feeding the regulation SP pellets with reasonably good (and a lot safer) results.But heres the article if you need it http://www.trains.com/ctt/default.aspx?c=a&id=456

See you learn something everyday. I have two bottles of smoke pellets. One the pills are intact and one is just a bottle of white powder. I don't use them I just keep them around for nostalgia reasons.
