Living Steam Fluid

I have never seen that product.  Where did you get it?

Never used that fluid but they have one hell of a marketing dept at Delux.

I can't remember the thread. Big E train show possibly?

Everyone was so distracted by the "nice young lady" in the red white and blue Deluxe bodysuit. They never paid attention to the samples she was handing out.

Maybe it was smoke fluid after all?

It was the Big E show and I remember her.  I have no idea who she was advertising for?

They are in England. I got their catalog with something I ordered (walthers maybe) and wow they have so many types of adhesives etc. And this stuff caught my eye (since no bodysuit models in the catalog 😜) . Sampling of the catalog:

At these prices, they should have had two of those models!

I'll be sticking to MegaSteam as well.

I’ll be sticking with My tried and true Megasteam smoke fluid but I do like the graphics on the bottle. 

Lionel premium.  Nothing better! 

If they would only fill the bottle to the top, id be even happier! 

I have used them all over several decades (except this Deluxe product) and my first choice is Megasteam NADA: little or no scent and quick dissipation!  My train room is a small to medium spare bedroom with no return HVAC duct. Since leaving O gauge for LGB, I now only use a form of Seuthe fluid made for LGB smoke units by a German company called Massoth. Like Megasteam, it too dissipates quickly, does not "hang" in the air, and has virtually no odor. ☺

For folks with COPD, Emphysema, Asthma and other pulmonary issues, the risk of lipid inhalement of these mineral oil drops in an especially restricted ventilation environment increases the risk of decreased lung function or even pneumonia. With the large number of seniors on this forum, it is likely some suffer from decreased lung function. ANY train smoke product that "clouds" a room should probably be avoided by susceptible individuals. Maybe some of our forum members who are physicians could respond?

The graphics I noticed right away - and did not like them one bit. Assuming that this is a domestic product, why are Euro graphics used? This is a consistent thing in all areas of model RRing - even rail fan publications/ads - and it makes me wonder how many can tell the difference - which is really concerning.

Have you signed on to eBay lately? Euro graphics all over the place on the model RR "home page". Inappropriate. 

I guess that N. America didn't have any RR equipment of domestic design, so the Euro images had to be used on products sold here. That must be it. They could at least show the really outstanding Brit/Euro designs, like the NYC Hudson, the PRR T-1 4-4-4-4, the ATSF 2900 4-8-4's or the SP Cab-aheads. (*Sarcasm alert*)

A small thing - but, really, no, it's not. There must be no RR graphic designs available West of the Atlantic. 

D500, quite the opposite really.  They are in England  and if you notice their catalog cover it has a US WW2 fighter and some UP diesel locomotives! 😂

Different strokes for different folks - I happen to like the British style graphics, but then again. I am a huge fan of LGB German, Austrian and Swiss narrow gauge models! Its all good!  ☺

Maybe Eliot has tried the smoke fluid?

In all seriousness, I agree.

I was skeptical, but in my experience Lionel premium produces the most smoke for the longest period of time.

No suprise I suppose, isn't the smoke fluid Mike Reagans cocktail? I believe he now sells it in bulk for a better price than big L.

I'm guessing that someone came in at the middle of the conversation and didn't read from the start!

I like the Lionel Premium too.  Yes, it smoke well for a long time.  But I also like variety in the scents, so I use megasteam as well.  Are there different scents of Lionel Premium fluid? 

27 dollars for 3 ounces!!  For that price they should come over and wash your car!
