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. Add 10-20 drops to either stack (shown in Figure 3) to prime the unit the first
time you run the locomotive or after being stored for an extended period of time, and then add 10
to 20 drops to refill when smoke production decreases. When refilling, 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 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 Lionel smoke fluid only. Do NOT use smoke
