Coal scented smoke fluid?

JT Megasteam sells coal fired steam, oil fired steam, and diesel locomotive scented smoke fluids. I use all three and really like them. I am considering trying the camp fire scent on my planned smoke effects but that's in the far off future.

Incense that smells like a steam locomotive? I don't know. But I also haven't ever looked. I wonder if you could use smoke fluid in a reed diffuser to get the effect you're looking for.

I heartily second Bill's recommendation! Jeb Kriegel of Mega Steam makes smoke fluid scents for EVERYTHING except, maybe, wet buffalo fur. I am a former train business owner and stocked many Mega Steam scents. I had to frequently reorder to keep our stock full.

Also, a side note. I use the Nada scent for whistle steam that is produced by a separate smoke unit. That way, the scented exhaust smoke is not too strong.

The Hot Chocolate scent is excellent at Christmas. I have an older 0-4-0 with the puffing unit. People go crazy when they smell it and realize what's going on haha

Our Christmas, "pop-up" train store (bot year around) was in a huge, climate-controlled greenhouse at Richardson Farms farm store in eastern Balitmore County, Maryland.  There was an indoor entrance to the greenhouse from the store. We had 1/2 of the greenhouse. The other 1/2 was full of live evergreen trees for sale during the Christmas season. When I would come into the greenhouse in the morning through an entrance from the outside on the Christmas tree side, I was engulfed by one of my favorite scents, the smell of pine! I would get things opened and put two trains pulled by steam locomotives on our 12' x 26' train layout loaded with Mega Steam Hot Chocolate smoke fluid get them running. When customers would enter from the indoor store entrance on our side of the greenhouse, they would see our layout and the massive display of live Christmas trees and, oddly enough, the first words out of their mouths were, "I smell chocolate!!!" The smell was wonderful!

Megasteam Coal scent is an acquired taste. To me it would gag a maggot in a gut wagon, good way to end a party and send your guests home.
