With the PS1 boards in th lead unit, there isn’t much room for a smoke unit. The track powered units are fairly large.
You could consider the much smaller smoke unit used for MTH whistle steam, you'd have to supply a power supply, but it could be mounted anywhere out of the way.
Where could I get one.?
I've never install one before.i assume it's going to be a custom fit.anything I should know.
You would have to come up with the proper voltages to run it. The smoke resistors require 5-7 volts, and the little smoke motor run on a maximum of 5VDC. I'd use an adjustable buck AC-DC module to power the heater and a few diodes to drop the heater voltage for the motor.
Sound like more then I can do.would you be interested in doing it and if so what would the total cost be.
