Tom, that's one of the new Tsunami Type II Super Decoders that I am beta testing.  You never have to add any oil to the smoke generator.  Neat, eh?  Big Smile [:D]

Not even close, NH.  I must say, though, that I find it difficult not to change my mind between the J1 pictured and the Niagara, Duplex, and the wonderful Y6b.  I am loyal to the J1, and even hope to have a brass one by Key Imports before the next decade is very old.

Any one of my 3 HO, 2-8-4 Berks.  I have a NKP and C&O by P2K and a Pere Marquette by Rivarossi.  I like them all equally.
