Steam smell candles (from NYMR)

[john new]

Just seen this announcement. No idea if the smell is accurate but it does give thought to finding a safe way to burn one alongside a steam era MPD layout. 

 

The link to the announcement I saw is on Facebook but I guess non-subscribers to FB can also access it freely to read but not comment on. Link = https://www.facebook.com/northyorkshiremoorsrailway/

Neat bit of preempting the usual "don't do Facebook" comments.

Domestic Facilities Management insists on burning these chi chi floral candles round the house, any idea where you can get one that smells of teenagers trainers or drains tolight when she's out?

Anyone remember the cans of real steam that became available around 1968/69? I think one place I saw them was at the very last Longmoor Open Day? They were Coke-style cans, supposedly filled with steam from a loco - but I can't verify that! Apparently you had to heat them up to get the steam (and presumably open them first).....

Stockholm tar and sheep foot oil can also smell like coal / steam engine smell. We tried it on CF once, with a vaporising device, but it was a bit lost on most people.
