I think everyone would love such a new feature/possibility on our diesels (I don't have any yet ). Vel

As do some fellow Marklin Club members who have seen it, and they are far more qualified than me to know what looks right and what doesn't. I'm also told that you can get special smoke fluid that smells like diesel smoke (an exhibitor at last year's NZ Railex had some), but I don't know if you can get smoke that turns black under load, and white when not under load.

As do some fellow Marklin Club members who have seen it, and they are far more qualified than me to know what looks right and what doesn't. You know, I have been looking at some videos of the class 218 starting up, and I must admit that the model does come close. I guess I was thinking of another prototype.

The question is if you really would want that on your layout. I am not sure I would.

The exhibitor gave me a bit of the fluid to try out, but being busy with the show at the time, I never got a real good chance to try it out. He told me that it comes from the US, and a quick Google search reveals that MTH make such a smoke fluid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/...quid-01048-/280765755140

And one user here showed a video of a diesel loco he equipped with a standard Seuthe smoke generator. Yes, it's possible: just drill a hole into the roof and mount a smoke generator.

I saw a video last week (from a demo of TouchCab I think) with a SteamLok (Märklin1?) that smokes from under the rails... Regards, Walter

Roco have done a Br10 in H0 with smoke coming from the loco clyinders, but you are most likely referring to KM1 who have a feature called Dynamic Smoke on some of their 1 Gauge locos.
