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. Pierce the tube end with a pin, then
add four to eight drops of fluid directly into
the Locomotive's stack. Smoke production
will commence momentarily, faster if you
run your Locomotive at speed. When smoke
production wanes, add more fluid (four to
eight drops).
If you prefer to have a smoke free loco-
motive, there is a switch located on the

Available RailSounds and Command Control Upgrades

T o experience the most from your loco-
motive, several upgrade options are
available, including RailSounds, Command
Control and ElectroCoupler. With these you
can enjoy the full spectrum of digitally
recorded real steam locomotive sounds and
the ability to control your locomotive from
bottom of the engine under the cab marked
SMOKE ON/OFF (see page 7 for location).
Move the switch to OFF and your locomotive
will stop smoking.
When the smoke unit is on, always keep

anywhere. As with all upgrades, you may
choose to have this done at an Authorized
Lionel Service Center for a fee, or you can
choose to "do it yourself." Just follow
these instructions we have included and
you'll be ready to experience the fun that is
today's Lionel.
