I got a call from Trainworld about a week ago asking if I still wanted the Lionel A.F. # 48475 Smoking Caboose that was on backorder since 5-5-2012. Does anyone have one? The manual said to pull the smokestack straight up. I can't seam to get the smokestack to come off. If you can get it off the goal is to add the smoke fluid to the center of the smoke unit bowl. Smoke fluid that comes in contact with the sides of the smoke unit chamber may crystalize or run down through the air vents, pooling on the floor of the car. To add the smoke fluid use a needle applicator and insert the needle into the smoke stack hole at an upward angle, and add five to eight drops of smoke fluid directly into the smoke unit. Press the operating smokestack into the hole that was molded into the roof. I tried inserting the needle applicator in the smokestack. It didn't work I got the inside of the caboose floor wet with fluid.
I think this is a lot of work trying to have a smoking caboose.
I forgot about this smoking caboose that has been on backorder almost three years ago.
