adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Y

 

our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke 
during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 8 on  

page 13 for the location of the switch.

The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function. 

A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the 
tip on the nozzle. Add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke pro-
duction commences momentarily. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds. 
When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops). An idle locomotive will 
not smoke. 

Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy 

load or a long consist. 

Caution!

When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount 
of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element 
can become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true 
if your locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke 
fluid in the generator. 

If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add 
smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.

note!
