[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by hoscalelarry [ Maybe if you have to be at train show all day -- bring a small fan to blow smoke away from your tables. Just an idea [:)] [/quote] At our local train show in a shcool gym that is 75' by 105. ' I was at one sde of the room, and the smoking MTH engines were at the opposite side - 75' away. There's no way that a fan would blow the smoke away. It permeates the entire gym, from one end to another. Other dealers closer have 6-8 tables and there's no way a fan could help them either. Our show is in the winter, so natural ventilation is not possible - it's cold out there! The smoke to me is merely an annoyance, but the fellow with me at our club sales table has respiratory problems and the smoke was bothering him most of the day. Our big problem is those operating the smokers are club members too, and don't want to compromise one bit by either turning the smoke down or using it fewer times. All or nothing seems to be their demands. It would be interesting if one of their family members had breathing problems, they would probably see the light. If it were the older Lionel trains with their little puffs of smoke it probably would not be a problem, but the newer electronic models have large tanks to hold the smoke fluid and fans that blow out the smoke continually - steam and diesels! Sometimes too much of a good thing is just too much. Bob Boudreau
