I've been to Tom's basement several times over the last two years watching the trains run and that is what that darn thing looks like. Some of his engines put out enormous amounts of smoke. Sometimes the basement looks like LA on a smoggy day. [^]

QUOTE: Originally posted by chuckn What "color" are clouds? What color is fog. Unsaturated steam is completely clear. As the water molecules condense into larger droplets they start to refract and diffuse light. If a cloud or fog is dense enough it starts trapping light instead of diffusing it. It will go from bright white to light grey to dark grey to almost black. The vaporized mineral oil used in toy train smoke behaves the same way. It usually condenses back into liquid oil before it can reach a density to block enough light to appear realy dark.

I have some ideas but I'n not going to try them out until I have a bigger fire extinguisher. Buckeye, I was intrigued by your idea of adding transistors and resistors. The way I see it, if you keep randomly cramming stuff into the engine and tender, you will either (1) reach critical mass, at which point your engines wont need transformers anymore (or running lights), or (2) the engine/tender will, because it has taken in enough matter, become a black hole, and suck up your layout, so smoke will no longer be an issue! It seems to me that the manufacturers are already trying to achieve (2). I have an EE and I dont dare touch the new engines! Well, down to the shop to glue some more stuff in.

Should I buy two Xs for this amount or five Ys for this amount. 2. For sale all my trains. Need money for brain transplant. 3. I found a train in the trash, what's it worth if I put it back together and sell if on EBAY. 4. Should I run my trains clockwise on even numbered dates and counter clockwise on odd number dates to even out the wear on the (put your own part name here.) 5.Does anyone have layout plans that can handle four trains at a time and fits in the back seat of my 42 Dodge. 6. If I take 15 transistors, 5 resistors and glue them to the engine will it run better? 7. Do you know of any good train stores in the Mojave Desert? Pakistan? South Jersey? 8. I would like to run my new MTH loco outside. I'm thinking of covering it with hairspray so it won't bleach out. 9. Should I build my layout 46 inches or 46 1/2 inches off the floor? Which is better ergonomically? 10. I need help getting my layout started because I am all the time on the CTT forum. Do you know of a good counselor for stress? The black smoke question is a great question compared to some we have seen!!!!! Hope you guys enjoyed seeing Tom's smoking trains and of course Spankybird. . Celebrating 18 years on the CTT Forum.

I think I will just run with the smoke that comes in the sets. dennis TCA#09-63805 Reply Roger Bielen Member sinceJuly 2003 From: Watkinsville, GA 2,214 posts Posted by Roger Bielen on Sunday, January 22, 2006 8:20 AM How about flames shooting from the stack of a GP?

Reply twaldie Member sinceJanuary 2005 91 posts Posted by twaldie on Monday, January 23, 2006 4:42 PM Not sure how to make black smoke. I have some ideas but I'n not going to try them out until I have a bigger fire extinguisher. Buckeye, I was intrigued by your idea of adding transistors and resistors. The way I see it, if you keep randomly cramming stuff into the engine and tender, you will either (1) reach critical mass, at which point your engines wont need transformers anymore (or running lights), or (2) the engine/tender will, because it has taken in enough matter, become a black hole, and suck up your layout, so smoke will no longer be an issue! It seems to me that the manufacturers are already trying to achieve (2). I have an EE and I dont dare touch the new engines! Well, down to the shop to glue some more stuff in.

We're all way too sophisticated to be fooled by this little scam. [:D] Give that man a cigar! We have a winner!!!! FYI, over a year ago, there was this guy posting on another forum who advocated oiling the Lionel CAB-1 , and yes we mean taking the oil and spraying it inside the remote. The photos were taken in Tom's basement as a little satire on the subject. [:D][:D] Gosh! Spraying oil into the CAB-1 remote! What a moron! Everyone knows you're supposed to DIP IT in a can of oil!
