I'm new to smoking; my Command controoled engines that is. With my Lionel Legacy U boat what's the best way to get my mega steam drops in there. They say eyedropper it thru the top grate but that gets me instant weathering and causes a mess. I've heard that using 10-15 drops and then blowing air into the top works. Or should I use a funnel, or is it better to just stick to the eye dropper. Also using Tmcc should I be weary of using the aux1 plus #9 on my controller for the fan driven smoke unit. I'm a novice smoker. Thanks for the input and any tips you might have..

Hi Seacoast • Stay with the eyedropper & follow the manufactures smoke instructions.
Good Luck & Cheers from Michigan
Hi There
JT Mega steam makes & sells a needle point bottle for that purpose !
I need to order one for myself .
I agree with WRGMILW on the needle dispenser.
From the title I thought you meant a smokers car. To represent that you need a smoke unit inside a passenger car.
Thanks guys and thanks Chris for the link. I was having a tough time getting the Lionel U boat to smoke don't know if put to much or to little. I heard that you can over do it to. Someone told me to let the engine cool down and then fill it for the next day or time you will use it and less is better.?
Just keep the machine oil away from the smoke fluid...they have the same needle dispenser and bottle size... and light machine oil does not smell like hot chocolate...

Understood J Daddy. I don't need to fog up the house with that machine oil smell, the wife would love that. .
On my legacy Southern U-boats, that fine slotted grill can be removed providing easy access with a dropper to put in the smoke fluid...mine was lightly glued in place and could be pryed off then pressed back on...seems almost impossible to add fluid just through the small slits.

IcFan, I did remove the grill. This after spilling smoke fluid and giving my UP Uboat workhorse a weathered look without trying. I guess I need to go with the needle dispenser. I was just at the Amherst show and bought some bottles from Mega Steam, never occurred to me get a needle dispenser. Is there anyplace else that sells them? Ebay or other?
