Adding Effects To A Fake Fire Scene
We have already talked about some ideas for creating a fake fire scene on your layout. The smoke unit and all the LED lights will help bring the scene to life and can all be controlled by one switch. Remember not to leave the smoke unit on too long as the smoke fluid could dry up and damage the smoke unit. To add even more reality you can blacken some of the windows in the burning building or at least dirty them so that some look damaged or broken.
You can complete the scene with fire trucks, a crowd of bystanders, fire hoses spread in all directions, and some sounds of fire crackling and / or siren sounds. There are various sound modules available to provide the sound effects including: Maxx Traxx, Dreamplayer by Pricom, HQ Sound Modules manufactured by ITTC, RAM digital sound devices, and Surroundtraxx sold by Soundtraxx.
