Running your locomotive

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke during
operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7 for the loca-
tion of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
Add 10-15 drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production will commence
after running for several minutes. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds.
When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops).
Caution!
When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount of
smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element can become
damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true if your locomotive
sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke fluid in the generator.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add smoke
fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
Note!
For best performance, we recommend that you use Lionel smoke fluid only.
Note!
