Locomotive basics
Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke dur-
ing operation. A reservoir beneath the stack contains the fluid and a wick which, once saturated,
supplies the heating element with the right amount of fluid. Add 10-20 drops of smoke fluid as shown
in Figure 3 to prime the unit the first time you run the locomotive or after being stored for an extend-
ed period of time, and then add 10 to 20 drops to refill when smoke production decreases. When refill-
ing, DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke units to become oversaturated allow-
ing 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 switch and slide it
to the NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 4 on page 8 for the location of the switch.
For best performance, we recommend using only 6-37841 Lionel Premium Smoke
