Smoke generator question...

[Claus]

Wanted to add, now that steam generators have a fan (much better than the old days), you can make a plume of smoke then shut it off like the truck is starting off in a hard pull, still the wrong color but it is an option.

Yes sir, that's the way to puff out the smoke. As far as the color of smoke, I often had a thought of adding black food color. But the two main reasons I guess you couldn't is it probably wouldn't mix well, and what if it got on the body. I just don't want to ruin anything. Thanx for the vid.

Good news big John!..... I found a way for white smoke to actually be appropriate and make sense!
All ya need is snow!
I just watched this video and I thought..... That's it! Drive your rigs in the cold because that's when the exhaust is white!...lol.
All ya gotta do is move to Canada, where winter is 8 months long and your RC with white smoke will fit right in!

Mario, I love ya buddy, but I HATE the cold. So a move to Canada is a no go. I have seen this rig, and I wanted to post the video on the workings of this rig, but I couldn't figure out how to post it on the board. But yes the smoke looks good against the snow. Thanx for sharing the vid. I thought it was funny when the guy was running the truck from inside the house...smart man.
