It's not that uncommon to see flames with the TMCC and early Legacy locomotives with the smoke voltage regulator. Those were failure champs, and if they failed shorted, they pumped about 40 watts into the smoke unit with predictable results! Forget about the shell for diesels, and diecast shells just smelled really bad for a couple of years.
