I bought an Atlas 0-6-0 Founders Series #1701-2. It was used and out of warranty. The engine runs great, love the sound but I can not get it to smoke.
I did move the smoke switch on the tender several times between "NO" and "SMOKE" and nothing. Yes, I put oil in the stack. I have not taken the engine apart yet to see what might be the issue.
Before I dig into it, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? How difficult is it to remove the engine shell, any cautions I need to be aware of? Can I assume that the switch in the tender or that the circuit that controls the smoke inside the tender are OK, or should I look at this first?
My layout is DCS with Legacy Cab 2. I use the Cab 2 for all of my TMCC/Legacy engines. I did notice that on my Cab 2, I do not have a smoke on/off button on the display, don't know why. I did a test with the DCS controller to turn on the smoke, but no results.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
