Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a
smoke generator that produces safe,
clean, white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic
addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. A small tube of smoke fluid was
included with this locomotive. Pierce the
fluid tube's end with a pin, then add eight to
ten drops of fluid directly into the smoke
stack. Smoke production will commence
momentarily, faster if you run your
locomotive at speed. When smoke production
wanes, add more fluid (eight to ten drops).
When you place your locomotive on the
track for the first time, the smoke unit will
be on. Thereafter, the smoke unit will return
to its last operating state each time you
power it up. For example, if you turn off the
smoke unit before you power down the
locomotive, the smoke unit will be off the
next time you power it up. If the smoke unit
was on before you powered down the
locomotive, the smoke unit will be on the

the switch setting.
Always keep a small amount of smoke
fluid in the locomotive smoke generator; the
generator's element can become damaged if
operated without fluid. Smoke production is
greater at higher voltages and when the
locomotive is pulling a heavy load or long
