Brians Train RoomA look at Lionel's early attempt at a real smoking engine. The first engines used a Smoke bulb that heated up special pellets that created smoke. The 196 pellets were used for one year only and quickly replaced by safer and more effective SP pellets. The 196 pellets also came in a special canister.
A RARE Lionel Trains master carton of 12 of the 196 canisters is also shown! Wow.
