Smoke Unit Instructions
This engine is equipped with a TAStudios fan driven Turbo Smoke unit and is
wired with an ON/OFF switch located under the cab directly above the trailing truck. If
you decide not to use the smoke unit, then the ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF
position. While the smoke unit has an overheating protection circuit incorporated, we
recommend turning the smoke unit off by the switch if you do not plan on using this
feature. To add fluid, simply place about 10-20 drops of smoke fluid (provided with your
locomotive) into the smoke stack. After adding the smoke fluid gently blow down the
stack to remove any fluid blocking the stack. Apply power to your track (approximately
12-16 volts) and after several seconds the smoke unit will begin to smoke, then
operate as usual. The smoke unit requires approximately 12 Volts on the track to
generate a decent amount of smoke. Operation under 12 Volts will result in poor
smoke unit performance. Never apply more than 10-20 drops of fluid to your smoke
unit, as it will overfill the chamber and degrade the smoke unit's performance.
Lionel® RailSounds®
All of our sound equipped engines are equipped with the industry's premier
operating control system; TrainMaster® Command Control and Railsounds 4.0™, the
industry leader in sound system technology. This system will operate with a
conventional AC transformer, but some sound features such as coupler sound, steam
release sounds, volume control, TowerCom, and crew talk will not function without the
Cab-1 remote and command base.
3-Rail With Sound (non-command operation)
The Baldwin 2-8-0, running in a non-command mode, will have steam engine
chuff sounds, and also steam whistle and bell. Virtually any alternating current (AC)
transformer is suitable to operate your locomotive. To access the whistle and bell
features your transformer will need to have both a whistle and bell activation button.
NOTE: Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to electronic
