I use Mega Steam smoke fluid, but that's just me.

Todays Lionel fluid is excellent without any nasty smells.

I like to run prototypically correct early to mid 19th Century trains. Back then the cars were lubricated with tallow and fat, the passenger cars were hot and stuffy in the summer so many people would open the windows, take off their shoes and stick their feet out the window. As for the engines, they were usually burning wood. I finally found a custom smoke fluid at York several years back with the odors of rancid fat, smelly feet, and wood smoke. The trains look great when I run them and the odors are amazingly authentic but the running sessions are usually short because the stench is overwhelming!  |

Almost any brand will be ok, I use several and even mix it when the bottle gets low. I also like the MTH Christmas pine, one of my favorites.
