Question for Rich: Great Layout Adventures #8 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

chipsetOGR Forum Member

Just received and watched this DVD from OGR and it was awesome!

What I am wondering about is the locomotives on Gerry and Sue Morlitz's layout.

The smoke on those locos seems thicker, whiter, fuller, and also comes out of the stack with more force than any locos I have (MTH and LIonel).

It also looks like the chuff rate was set higher and thus the smoke was coming out in faster (pulses) in sync with the chuff rate?

I seem to recall reading in some doc from MTH once saying what the realistic chuff rate is, something like 8 per revolution?

Anyway, Rich do know if those engines had modified smoke units, or what kind of smoke fluid was used?

Maybe it was the brand of loco? Something other than Lionel or MTH?

They all just seemed to make better smoke than anything I have seen.

BTW, great job as usual on the DVD!
