I can get a headache from the smoke fluid Lionel uses now.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

I have found a much cheaper thing to use for smoke than smoke fluid. If you have a smoker that uses fluid try a few drops of olive oil. Yep, olive oil! No fluid I have used works better. I have been using it for 2 years on the same engine with no problems except alot of smoke.[:)] It is a heck of alot cheaper than smoke fluid too [:I] I use it in my Marx 666 engine that I restored.
