Bringing the thread back to the OP´s question, which was about smoke and not sound - this issue has been discussed a number of times in recent years. There seem to be more folks not in favor than there are liking it. In HO scales and even more in N scale, the smoke is, IMHO, far from even being a mile from what would look prototypical, especially with th old Seuthe-style smoke units, which evaporate tiny drops of a paraffine-based smoke fluid to resemble a puffing loco. Things look different when you move up in scale to the 1/32 or gauge one scale. Watch this: <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W556ur3R3B4" width="425" height="350"></iframe> I don´t think you could get any closer to the real thing, if the smoke would come out black from the stack and white from the cylinder valves and the whistle! As good as it already looks, I don´t think I could stay longern than 60 seconds in a smoke filled basement!
