Running your train
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 8 on
page 14 for the location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to func-
tion. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap,
then add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production com-
mences momentarily, faster if you run your locomotive at high speed. When smoke production
decreases, add more fluid (about four drops).
Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy
load or a long consist.
Caution!
Slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position if the locomotive remains in
neutral. The smoke unit will become damaged if the locomotive is left sitting
on the track with power on.
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!
