I use it in my MTH Texas&Pacific mohawk, LIonel dockside switcher and a Lionel J3A Hudson all smokes great and no problems. I highly recommend it.

I have used it too.

I've noticed there are no mice in the house anymore. Of course, a certain cat may be the reason for that situation and not the smoke.[:)]

Very safe to use without any problems. Many posters on this forum use it and I've never heard of any problems. Be cautious not to overfill.

Is Mega Steam safe for MTH smoke units?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 26, 2006 9:29 AM
I just bought some of the JT Mega Steam smoke fluid, and I would like to know if it is safe to use in MTH smoke units. I am concerned that it might damage wicks. I also noticed that some scents (like cedar or coal) have an amber color to them. Will this discolor the paint in the smokestack or harm the wick in any way? I noticed that some of my Protosound 2.0 steamers have blistered paint inside the stacks. Is that normal? I have the smoke output set to max on all of them. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated.
