Operating your Veranda’s smoke generators
Command Control smoke unit commands
Y
our locomotive is equipped with two
smoke generators that produce safe,
clean, white smoke during operation.
The smoke generators require the
periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in
order to function. Pierce the tube end with a
pin, then add no more than 15 drops of fluid
into the locomotive’s stacks. Adding more
fluid will not increase the production of
smoke. See Figure 6 for the location of the
smoke stacks. It is important to add fluid to
the square stack above the rear smoke
generator to prevent flooding the interior of
your locomotive. Smoke production will
commence momentarily. When smoke
production wanes, add more fluid (four to
eight drops).
If you prefer to have a smoke-free
locomotive, there are two smoke unit
switches located on the bottom of the engine
(see page 5 for their locations). Move the
switches to OFF and your locomotive will
stop smoking.
When the smoke units are on,
always
keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the
locomotive’s smoke generators; the elements
can become damaged if operated without
fluid.
Command operation
Your Veranda’s smoke units mimic the
operations of the real thing. The rear smoke
unit will heat up in approximately 30
seconds, then it will turn on. As the speed
increases, the forward smoke unit will turn
on, and the rear smoke unit will turn off.
Conventional operation
During operation, both smoke units will
remain on, regardless of the speed of the
locomotive. You may use the smoke unit
switches to turn off either smoke unit or
both smoke units.
