The smoke unit in my Berkshire barley produces smoke. I made sure that the smoke switch was on, and the smoke was turned on with the Cab 1 remote. I tried resetting the locomotive, and it did not help. My track voltage is set to 18 volts, my other locomotives smoke properly. So I rebuild the smoke unit. I replaces the batting, the 8 ohm resistor without the sock. I made sure that the batting would not interfere with the air flow. I have added plenty of smoke fluid in it. Still no change, barely produces smoke. Then I took it back apart, and I replaced the smoke unit motor. Everything that I have done did not help produce anymore smoke, than it originally did to begin with. I am thinking that possibly the AC regulator, that is referred to in the smoke unit section on the Lionel website could be bad. And this board is no longer available. Has anyone else come across this issue with their Command Control Berkshire locomotive's. Any suggestions how to proceed further would be appreciated.

I just wire the smoke output from the R2LC (usually available on a motherboard connector) to the smoke switch, and the other side of the smoke switch to the smoke unit resistor connection. As Pat says, swap out the resistor and you're back in business.
