Mystery Smoke Unit

More information would be helpful. It's hard to see much, the way the unit is encapsulated in resin or something. If it is a Seuthe unit (not Sleuthe) it will have a post in the center. From what I can see, it doesn't look like a Seuthe unit - a Seuthe unit is a straight cylinder, while the unit in the picture appears to have "wings" on the sides (which might be just a mount for the smoke unit). Does this unit have a fan, or is it just a straight smoke generator with no fan? 

It could be a seuthe just not an O scale seuthe. Seuthe has made many sizes and styles over the years for HO as well as O but stuck in that goo it'd be hard to tell what it was.

Walthers carries seuthe you might do a search on their web site and find one that matches it. Just don't assume it's O scale.

Your answer is the POLA that is clearly seen in picture. I am only familiar with POLA as a G scale manufacturer.

I am assuming this is an O Scale building?

It looks like the standard POLA 'Burning building' unit.  There is normally a flashing red light unit included with the building too. This is used to simulate the flames.

I see that your building has a label saying 'Tax Office'.  This is always a popular building to model as being on fire. 

The building is the IRS on Fire.  Standard Pola Smoke unit

Thanks so far everyone. Basically their is not much to see. Inside that box, is a long tube (heating element) that goes vertical above a little reservoir shaped like half a sphere (for the fluid to pool?).I would love to get a photo of the inside, but I can't get the camera in there.

The building does have a red flashing light, and a yellow light (and a green one, but I think that was a replacement bulb).

Do I just add fluid to it? How much? I mean it looks like it could hold two bottles of Megasteam lol.
