Reading the manual tells me that switches are under the chassis or vents. The only switches I found were DCS/DCC. Using the MTH DCS Handheld I turned smoke on and put a few drops in the stack. I don’t get any smoke. What am I missing?

I'm not seeing smoke listed as a feature and given the size and knowing they used smaller boards in certain 44 ton units may not have smoke?

" there doesn't appear to be any smoke unit,"
No room for smoke
So million dollar question- where did your smoke fluid go and how much before this is messy?
Those 44 tonners definitely DO NOT have smoke units. You'll need to clean your boards, or have it serviced somewhere. Those handrails are *extremely* delicate so very careful handling is needed.

Vernon,
🥵🥵🥵🥵
Thanks for the quick reply. I don’t think any harm was done. The stack that I thought was open is the same as the other one.
In my defense, I reacted to this.
It takes a village.

Yup, the little 44 tonners do not have smoke. I’m amazed that they were able to shrink the PS3 boards to a size where they would fit in the locomotive body shell. I have three of them. They are heavy for their size and very well made!

I had to smile when I saw this thread. 
Smoke would have been cool, but a real trick to add.
