I have never used the pellets, but I have used liquid before. These days, you're more apt to find smoke liquid. It's considerably cheaper normally, too.

For starters, the "smoke" from smoke pellets/liquids is not really smoke, as there is no combustion taking place. It's more like a fog similar to metorological fog you see outside. In model trains, there is a heating element inside that vaporizes the smoke liquid. The liquid is a light oil that, when heated and vaporized, turns into tiny droplets of moisture that release into the cooler air and create a fog.

As for using it in 40k models, you would likely have to have a little knowledge of electronics and develop a safe heating mechanism and find some way to hide it in your model. It can certainly be done though. You may even be able to buy a model locomotive and kitbash the element. They can be pretty pricey, though.

Here's a site with some smoke products:
