Adding smoke fluid to your 4-4-2’s smoke generator
Y
our 4-4-2 locomotive is equipped with a
smoke generator that produces safe,
clean white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic
addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. Pierce the smoke fluid tube end
with a pin, then add 4 to 8 drops of fluid
directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke
production commences momentarily, faster if
you run your locomotive at high speed. When
smoke production wanes, add more fluid (4
to 8 drops). An idle locomotive will not
smoke.
NOTE:
Always keep a small amount of
smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke gener-
ator; 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.
Smoke production is greater at higher volt-
ages and when the locomotive is pulling a
heavy load or a long consist.
Maintaining and servicing your set
Do not leave your locomotive on the track in neutral with the throttle turned up.
This will cause serious damage to the smoke generator.
