RailKing 6-8-6 Bantam Turbine Steam Engine

ProtoSmoke

®

 Unit Operation

This steam locomotive contains a smoke unit that 
outputs smoke through the smokestack on the
boiler of the engine.  The smoke unit is
essentially a small heating element and wick that
soaks up and then heats a mineral oil-based fluid
that emits a harmless smoke.  The smoke is then
forced out of the stack by a small electric fan.

With a few easy maintenance steps, you should
enjoy trouble-free smoke unit operation for
years.

• When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20
drops of smoke fluid through the smokestack
(see Fig. 4).  We recommend M.T.H.
ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or LVTS fluids (a
small pipette of ProtoSmoke fluid is included). 
Do not overfill the unit or the fluid may leak out
and coat the interior engine components.

• If you choose not to add the fluid (or have
already added the fluid but choose to run
smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit switch
located under the engine body (see Fig. 5).

3. Slip the new tire onto the wheel.  You may find it useful to use two small
flathead screwdrivers to stretch the tire over the wheel.  

4. If you twist the tire while stretching it over the wheel, you will need to
remove and reinstall the tire.  Otherwise your engine will wobble while
operating.  

5. Make sure the tire is fully seated inside the groove.  Use a razor blade to
trim away any excess tire that doesn’t seat itself inside the groove properly.

One set of replacement tires is included with the model.  Additional tires are
available directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department (phone: 410-381-2580;
