After failing to find a device to produce a steam effect with the functions I wanted, I decided to make my own!

This Steam Simulator Unit (SSU) I made works by converting normal tap water into vapour which gives a steam effect, perfect for my TID Tug! Each tank of water will produce around 45mins worth of vapour, then I just simply top up the tank again with water, no need for special additives/oils etc!

I made this unit using a number of components, the trickiest part in building this was sourcing a PCB board which simulates the amount of vapour produced to coincide with the RPM of the motor, thankfully a friend custom made the PCB for me which met my specific needs which also allows me to toggle the power to the unit on / off via the transmitter. 

For the actual tank, I opted to use clear perspex so I could see the water level inside the tank with ease, I fixed the parts together using a solution called Model-X Pro Plastic Weld, I used a short piece of 20mm PVC piping for the outlet pipe which was fixed into position again using the Model-X Pro Plastic Weld.
