[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by chateauricher [Anyways, to get back on topic ... It is my understanding that a properly maintained steam engine shouldn't be belching much smoke at all. Certainly not in any quantities approaching those that some modelers re-create. If you're going to be modeling accurately, you should (as others on this thread have suggested) also scale down the smoke (and noise) to a more realistic prototypical level. [/quote] RIGHT! And what about one of the newest diesels, a VIA P42 passenger engine sitting there in the siding, not moving, with a copiuous amount of smoke continuously pouring out? No need for it whatsoever, even placing a smoke unit in such a model is a farce! If you're modeling an old ALCo diesel, then smoke would be appropriate, but it should be black. Bob Boudreau
