This old engine has seen better days. Any topic you see on a 1970s mighty sound of steam is probably mine.... this engine had a e-unit, then electric problems...etc... well now the smoke fluid leaks. Any quick solutions? There was alresdy a old peace of black tabe there and I put electrical tape over that... anything else? Im a newbie...

Clean off the outside of smoke fluid with some 409, or Fantsastic or such, and spread some JB Weld around the seams. That should seal it up, Regular epoxy may work OK.

What is the catalog / cab number of your 1970s mighty sound of steam engine?
