   The difference is the relative realism of the two. Tsunami sound other than 
the diesel horns is pretty realistically scaled down sound but smoke apparently 
doesn't scale down as well based on my observations of smoke equipped 
models.Most of them look like little smoke machines instead of model smoking 
locos. I suspect that many of the folks who are satisfied with model smoke 
systems were not around in the steam era and don't know what a real loco should 
smoke like? If I could get an SP narrow gauge #9 loco to smoke black smoke like 
the real one I'd certainly enjoy it but I'm not holding my breath in my 
smokeless train room waiting for one....DaveBranum
