Hi I had a look and thanks…
It looks like we have moved on to water based smoke gen using ultrasonic.
I’m thinking the advantage is no oil purchase…. No heat….. and I could install a big water tank in the caboose so it can run a while?
Now… it’s usb so I’m guessing I would need to make a feed from my DCC track… so chip is 5v and track is 18v
Do I need to get a clever wire dude to figure this?
Or is it easy. ?
Also larger water tank means it can puff for some time but maybe I should add a small decoder to switch it on when we are watching?
Hope you are having a fab Sunday

Possible uses include (though limited only by your imagination) - from model rail layouts and war gaming to static models, battle or industrial dioramas and dolls houses - possibly even Lego models. Although that said, it would work even if clipped to a wet sponge if not using the included wick.

Oh and I guess 18v to 5 v can be done with a resistor ?Hi I had a look and thanks…

There has been a fair amount of interest lately in these misters. The biggest advantage is no oil residue on the surroundings. They also don't require nearly as much power, so are more suitable for battery operation. Check out the numerous videos on YouTube. One tip I remember is that they need to be right at the top of the stack/chimney or internal condensation can be a problem. Of course, too much indoor use could cause a humidity problem, so that might need to be taken into consideration. I have just bought four REA coaches that have smoke generators for the pot bellied stoves so that was fresh in my thinking. Good luck with your experimenting!Hi I had a look and thanks…

I think this would be overkill for the misters. They don't seem to need much power. Here is one of the YouTubes.
