Interesting Smoke Fluid Scents

    .. ...... Peanut butter cookie 

Check out craft stores for candle making, they sell small bottles of liquid scent fluids. Be warned though-a little goes a long way.

I would certainly stay away from home brew scents.  I know Lionel is very particular on smoke fluids in their units and will void the warranty because of this and the OGR forum management doesn't look kindly upon home made smoke fluids.

That being said, I know JTs Mega Steam is always open to new suggestions.  They make a great deal of really unique scents and many of them have come from suggestions here on the forum.  They have pretty much covered all the scents I like so I'd be interested to see what others come up with.  Pizza maybe...peanut butter ugh.  LOL!

Yes, I know they frown on "home brew" smoke but I have used my own in older Lionels for well over a year with no problems.  Don't use scents though.  I tried "cooking donuts" I think and it lasted forever but made the house smell good.

Cooking donuts? Is that a Mega Steam scent?

I really like the Cinnamon roll, Hot chocolate, Grand pa's pipe, Candy Cane, Bayberry Holiday, Christmas Pine, and X-mas berry...

Ones I think they could toss in the can are vanilla, diesel smoke, coal steam, and original Cedar. Whew one whiff  and I was running for the stairs gagging... But that is just my opinion, everyone is different when it comes to smells....

Although, if you want the Mrs. not to come down into the basement. One lap around the layout with a good cloud of smoke and she will vacate the premises.

Cedar doesn't bother me.  Diesel never tried bu the coal steam...ugh.  I was always looking for burning rubber or something burning because of it.

I misspoke- the scent I tried was baking apple pie but never could figure it out. A sweet, sort of spicey smell which I got tired of. But better smelling than my dog.  Put a loop on the LR floor and run a train smoking with a nice, pretty smell before you hve visitors but take the track up before they show up. Make points with the Mrs.

When Neil Young got involved with Lionel, my brother and I thought for sure he would produce a marijuana scent!   

• Spiced Nuts - That sweet nutty scent you smell from the corner vendors in NYC during the holidays.
• Creosote - I always liked the smell of that. Reminds me of railroad ties and boardwalks.
• Ocean Breeze - Memories of warm days down at the shore.

I want Pepsi or Coca Cola scents, Cookies n cream, and I would like Double chocolate 

Starbucks coffee scent would be a really nice smoke scent. I prefer the taste of Dunkin, but Starbucks has a really good scent to it.

I like the prototypical smells of oil and coal.

Bogie

I like and use the candy cane myself.

So far the only scent (besides Nada) I have tried has been Frying Bacon.

Haven't needed to try anything else!   lol

I'd like this....

Personally, I am partial to cheap perfume, reminds me of Sat. nights a long time ago.

I had and MTH bottle of cinnamon roll scent, but after a year of using it, you couldn't tell.

My 2 favorites by far are - 1) MTH Christmas scent and - 2) Mega Steam Eliminator (I actually like the scent of this one).

However, I admit that I have not tried every scent available (way too many out there). I did try a few and really liked the two above, so that was pretty much the end of my testing of any others. I may try a few of the new Lionel scents when my LHS gets them in stock.

The clear 'must have' new train smoke scent has to be cooking scrapple.

My favorite, a complete surprise, was grape. It didn't sound appealing, most fruit scent to me is deep and near rotten smelling; but grape was light and fresh. (Pat's trains version)

Vanilla was acceptable, but not great. A weak scent, not a bad one.

Smoke pellet didn't smell quite right; too bad.

Real coal stinks, so I'd pass that right from the start, accurate or not.

I might go for wood burning though. I like the smell of a campfire anyhow.
