I'm not surprised that some of the history is difficult to find. As for smoke fluids, I've never heard of anyone who knew positively what the formula was for them. I got a glimmer of an idea in a post from a former Lionel employer (I'm blank on his name at the moment) as to the newest Lionel Premium fluid that it doesn't dry out when sitting. That seems like a reason to use it and forget the old ones. Do you know what the mechanics are on the older smoke units you have? Is it a platform that a pill would have rested on (they used to use a light bulb with a dimple in it) or is it a resistor in a pile of fiberglass?
