Locomotive basics
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces
safe, clean, white smoke during operation. When adding fluid,
DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke unit to
become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note
that operating your locomotive’s smoke unit without smoke fluid will
cause damage to the heating element. Add 20 drops initially to the
main stack, and 10 to 20 thereafter.
Refer to Figure 5 as you add the smoke fluid. If you prefer to
operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch
on the underside of the locomotive and slide it to the OFF position.
Refer to Figure 6 on page 8 for the location of the switch.
For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke
fluid only.
