Is there any way to add smoke to large scale locos (including the Thomas range)?

I heard that dry ice works.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find any large scale smoke units (generators). ???
Early in the morning,
Down at the station,
All the little engines
Standing in a row.
Along comes the driver,
Pulls the little lever
Puff, puff! Chuff, chuff!
Off we go!

I believe Aristo-Craft has some spare smoke units available in their catalogue.  At the drop-down box at the lower left of the screen, select "Replacement parts."  They are fan-drive.

If you're up for some delicate work, try rigging a crank-operated bellows system driven by the wheels. You'll get realistic puffing action.
