Smoke
If your engine is equipped with a smoke generator, DO
NOT OPERATE THE SMOKE UNIT WITHOUT SMOKE FLUID.
Doing so will damage the engine. The smoke unit heater
can be physically turned off using the switch located
beneath the cab (or behind the smokebox door on some
models). If the switch is on, the smoke can be turned
on and off using the AUX button on the DC Master or F7
on your DCC controller. Before using, add 6-8 drops of
fluid to the smoke unit using the small plastic funnel that
came with your locomotive. Drop the fluid directly into
the locomotive’s smokestack. If the smoke unit is hot,
do not lower the funnel too far into the smokestack as
you could accidentally contact the heating element. If you
melt plastic onto the heating element, your locomotive
will not be able to produce smoke. Whenever the smoke
starts to look thin, add another 3-4 drops (enough for 15-
20 minutes run time). There are 2 CV’s used to adjust the
smoke output by controlling the heat. CV236 controls the
level while moving, and CV 237 controls the level at idle.
Operation with a DC Power Pack
Your Paragon 2 Steam locomotive is ready-to-run. Simply
place the locomotive on a track powered by any DC power
pack with a variable output up to 16 volts DC. As you
increase the track voltage, the sound system will begin
functioning at around 7 volts DC. If you increase track
power slowly, you will hear the sound of a steam locomotive
starting. As you slowly increase track voltage, the engine
will start to move. There are a number of sounds the
locomotive will produce automatically to simulate the
sound of a full-size steam locomotive.
If you do not use DCC, the DC Master Analog Control
Module (BLI stk# 1011 or PCM stk# 1001), is required for
activation of the whistle, bell and some other sounds, and
to control the volume. It can also program CV’s without
a DCC system. The DC Master is shown in figure 1,
connected between the power pack and the track.
