You're starting to freak me out, Perry! Do you work at Area 51?

John, lift the cover off the cake plate and call the Caped Crusaders on that red phone. To the Batmobile!

Perry,
That is really cool!  The only thing that would have made it more wicked would have been 4 multi spindals, each with a different color, they would have been attached to a single large rotating wheel.

But that is awesome... what are you using for smoke generators?

Hey... I've never seen a photo of Perry... he wouldn't look like that creature from ID-4 now would he? Hmmmmmm....

That is the coolest thing, Perry. I can't wait to see it 'in motion.'

Brent,

The smoke units are from Micro Mark, and each unit can hold around 80 drops of liquid smoke...sold at any train shop. They feature an automatic shut off when out of fluid or if they get too hot. I'm real pleased with the product and have yet to have one fail on me.
