Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive's smoke generators
Y
our locomotive is equipped with two smoke generators that produce a safe, clean, white
smoke during operation.Your VISION Line ATSF 3000 s has one smoke generator for the
main smoke stack and one for the auxiliary smoke unit. The auxiliary unit is for the
new TruRail features of whistle and blowdown steam. It is located under a removable
dome right in front of the bell. The dome is held on with two magnets. Lift up the
dome and place the included funnel into the hole. For the first time we recommend
using 20 drops of smoke fluid. From then on 10 to 20 drops will be sufficient. For the
main smoke stack at the front of the engine 20 drops will be enough, and 10 to 20
thereafter. DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke units 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.
If you prefer to operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switches
under the rear sand dome or the middle sand dome and slide them to the OFF position. Refer to
Figure 2 on page 8 for the location of these switches.
