Operating And Servicing Your Train Set; Adding Fluid To The Smoke Generators In Your Locomotive And Caboose - Lionel Canadian Pacific Freight Owner's Manual

Operating and servicing your train set

Adding fluid to the smoke generators in your locomotive and caboose
Y our locomotive and caboose are equipped with smoke generators that produce a safe, clean,
white smoke during operation. In order to function, the smoke generators require the period-
ic addition of Lionel smoke fluid. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with your set.
To add smoke fluid, press down and unscrew the cap of the smoke fluid bottle, then pierce
the top of the nozzle with a pin. Add 10 to 15 drops of fluid into the duct on your locomotive
or your caboose's stack. Refer to Figure 7 for the locomotive's duct. Power up your train set,
and smoke production will start momentarily. Smoke production will start faster if you
increase the voltage. When smoke production decreases, add four to eight additional drops of
smoke fluid.
If you prefer to operate your locomotive or caboose without smoke, slide the smoke switches
to the OFF or NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 5 on page 12 for the location of this switch on
the underside of the locomotive. Refer to Figure 10 on page 33 for the location of this switch on
the underside of the caboose.
When the smoke unit switches are in the ON position, always keep a small amount of
smoke fluid in the smoke units. Operating your smoke units without smoke fluid will cause
damage to the heating element.
Always operate your smoke units with the addition of smoke fluid to prevent
