Add Smoke

ProtoSmoke™ Unit Operation

This diesel locomotive contains a smoke unit that outputs smoke through the

exhaust stack(s) 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.

Fig. 12: Adding Fluid

When preparing to run this engine, add

15-20 drops of smoke fluid through the

MIDDLEsmokestack. We recommend

M.T.H. ProtoSmoke fluid (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 control

(Fig. 4) by turning to full Counter Clockwise

Position). Failure either to add fluid to the

unit or to turn it off may damage the

smoke unit heating element and/or

wicking material.

When the smoke output while running the engine begins to diminish, add another 10-

15 drops of smoke fluid or turn the smoke unit off.

When storing the unit for long periods of time, you may want to add about 15 drops

of fluid to prevent the wick from drying out.

After removing the engine from storage, add another 25 drops of fluid, letting the wick

diminish, add another 10-15 drops of smoke fluid or turn the smoke unit off.

When storing the unit for long periods of time, you may want to add about 15 drops
