http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_gLR6ByhY     I thought it would be fun to make my own smoke fluid loader, I used a signal bridge I know longer used and took the wiring out and wired a motor with a long arm to reach 2 tracks and ran the hose and wiring up inside the signal bridge. I have the pump motor hiding under the big can and the top lid can come off, and the fluid container under the small can and the lid can come off to refill the container. I still need to detail the cans with raillings, ladders or steps and some paint. here is a video of it
