When I was a kid we had a Lionel Train Set, I was told it was a special locomotive, you added some drops of something in the stack & it would puff & chug again & again, So that was pretty cool.
Wish I still had them, I don't even know what did happen to them. Hmmmmm...
I did move onto slot cars, & that was good fun so long ago. My favorite was a Cheetah, with sponge foam slicks.

I bet it was same fluid inside, but agree bottle was different, but Dad was the only one to add the smoke fluid, I was still too young.
Wow !!! You got pretty serious. I never took it that far. by that time I was working on removing the govenor on my Go-kart. And yes I did blow up the Briggs engine, my Dad was less than thrilled.
