Smoking stack in the Smokies

I am using the LGB 0-4-0 to kinda represent Little River Rail Road #1 pictured below.

LGB makes a very nice smoke unit and I thought I would give it a try. I never used the smoke effects in HO for fear of oiling and dirtying the track. Since I am using battery power for this representative of the Little River Rail Road in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee I figured it wouldn’t hurt to fire up the stack smoker on the little 0-4-0.

I really enjoyed the effect and since this was a first for me thought I would take some pictures in the sunlight of autumn.

So far the battery holds up pretty good while the smoke is flying out of the stack and overall I have enjoyed this effect. Doc Tom

In time I’d like to install some kind of smoke unit in my gold mill.

Hopefully I can do it without burning down the mill!

Do what I have done… Install an incense burner under the chimbley. There should be a good selection of scents at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. Burning cedar is a good choice.

That certainly is a cheap and easy way to go :slight_smile:
