Post by: Jonny on August 22, 2011, 03:47:06 PM
As title says

Has anybody fitted smoke generators to N gauge.
As all my locos are steam era circa 1948-1954 ish would really enhance them with smoke .

Any info would be great

Many thanks

Jon

Never seen them fitted to N gauge before but speaking of smoke generators I have a mate that uses a stage smoke generator like the ones rock bands use on his layout, he has several factories with chimneys and quite a few valleys on his layout, he did a lot of plumbing underneath the layout so that smoke comes out of chimneys and hangs in the valleys like fog, looks fantastic when its all up and running.

Its really good, the smoke shoots out the chimney quicker than a 'Gerbil shoots out of its carboard tube' ;).

Its amazing what can be done in the confines of a small space these days with a bit of know how on the electronics front.
