My Dear Knowledgable Experts,
I am new to the whole modelling scene, but am enjoying every aspect of it so far as I discover skills I never knew i had!
I am using DCC simply because it does make life simple!
so far I have bought only DCC ready stock, but I would like to ask your opinions about the smoke generators offered by Seuthe, does any body recommend them? do they actually offer any realism in their operation? and most importantly how should they be connected to the decoder (e.g. A Bachmann 56xx ) and then which funtion will make them operate? finally, if fitted must they be used, or can the locomotive be run without the steam generator operating without damage to the steam unit?
Thank you for your time.
Duztee.

Thanks MMD, as predicted it was in deed a full, complete and precise reply, what a nice man!
thanks Neil for your imput also.

A final point for anyone following this advice.
Check your decoder function output is sufficient for the generator chosen.
A seuthe #22 has a current draw of 120mA.
A lot of decoders have function supplied at only 100mA

Finally after all your helpful advice,
I have a seuthe 22 fitted and working in my bachmann xx56.
and boy oh boy does it make smoke!
