Locomotive Smoke
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:21 am
This question is for the 'real' railroaders in the group - those who actually know about real trains. I'm not in this group, that's why I'm asking this question:
Does the color of the smoke from real stream engines match color of the counterpart RT3 steam engines?
I have notice that some RT3 engines belch out black smoke and some belch out white or grey smoke. And some RT3 engines put out lots of smoke while others less smoke. For instance, RT3 Stirlings have black smoke. RT3 Dukes and Fairlies and Cramptons have white smoke. Do the real trains show the same smoke colors? Just curious.
