For your viewing entertrainment - 2 videos of trains running on the Jumijo Railroad.
Polar Express with Improved Smoke
Both videos were shot with a $29.00 disposable video camera from CVS pharmacy, so please excuse the poor camera work!
Jim
Very nice videos, Jim.
You have a great layout. Good smoke, too.
Chuck
Nice layout.
Jim,you can borrow my tripod next time. Now where’s that dramamine…
I have a tripod! The darned cheapie camera had no way of connecting it to one.
Wiseguy…
I know it has been said before, but great scenery.
Thanks, E! TCB, man.
Jim
And another thing - not one caboose fell to its doom in the making of these videoes!!!
You know who you are…
Jim
That surprises me, I figured half the trains would have gotten a case of vertigo with all that camera shakin’ and jumped off the tracks. [:D]
Nice scenery thou - sure you don’t want to get away from all that nasty weather for a few weeks? It doesn’t get much above or below 78 down here this time of year [8D]
It’s up to you. You know what I want in return.
No problem, I’ll get you a seat at the All You Can Eat Grits Buffet
Ok, spill it. How did you do that? Is that a new smoke unit that you installed, or did you do something to the original one? I would REALLY like to get my PE smoking like that.
Believe it or not, the smoke isn’t showing up well in the video. There’s really a lot coming out. See all the smoke coming from the sides?
The smoke unit is the original Polar Express unit. All I did was remove the charred fiberglass sleeve from the element and the wicking material from the bottom of the unit. I replaced the wicking with pink fiberglass insulation. The whole process took less than 1/2 hour.
Before I made the alteration, the smoke unit was anemic.

Hello Jim! Nice to know that no train’s were hurt or killed in the production of your video’s[;)][;)][:P][:o)] The Moe Howard Smoke Fluid does a good job of producing smoke.[;)][;)][:o)] I see there’s no NS on your railroad. You’re a man of good taste, Although you’re on the Chief’s Do-Do List for not having his favorite Roadname on the “Jumijo Railroad”[;)][;)][8] Take Care.
Two words. Duct tape. [;)]
Nice videos!
Some pictures would be really helpful for this Noob. How much pink fiberglass insulation did you put in the place of the wicking? Have you done this before, will it have to be replaced, how much sooner than if left original? How much more fluid does it go through in the same amount of time? Any details would be greatly appreciated. Because, I would like to get my PE smoking like that, but I don’t want to tear anything up on it. Pics are really helpful, if you can.
Very nice Jim !! I thought you had a small layout !! That looks pretty good size to me !! Glad no trains were squashed in making that video !! [(-D]
Thanks, John
