You can get some under the Piko name, wether they make them or just
resell Seuthe I don't know. If you do a www search for Piko smoke
generator it bring up acouple of sizes but don't limit the search just
to the UK. I'm surprised that you cannot find a seuthe that fits as
theirs is a quite a large range.
Back in Tri-ang days i think they used Seuth and despite much abuse
such as feeding it Deisel ,Agricastrol,and bits of bunker oil "Tar" it
still works. All the above produced more smoke than the recommended
nice perfumed stuff and realistically weathered my Tri-ang stuff 25
years before the term came into use.

I like the idea of using scented oils used for pot porri ( my old tank
loco, which I still have in bits, with it's 'synchrosmoke' unit used
to put an oily residue on the track and rolling stock ( could only
play with it when my Mum was out ).
