Burned up my smoke unit.  Guess I need to order some parts.

Need to edit the video length/sound but the first minute of this video is what caused
This destruction. Looked good up until....

so what had happened was -   track had power via DCS Commander, I put the car on the tracks and the smoke unit started to operate on its own. This was probably my first warning that I ignored but I was too impressed with the smoke output. 1:22 later the nice Christmas scented smoke smell turned into that "uh oh" smell. All in good fun.

 

I think the part number for the board I need is 691-FSMR-B01 - not sure about the fill tube or regulator though.

We had a Legacy 10-wheeler smoke regulator die at our club, it went into the long tunnel with normal smoke, and it came out like it was on fire!  I only wish I had had a camera at the ready for the exit, for the 15 seconds or so before we shut it down, it was the most impressive smoker I'd ever seen!  I had to replace not only the smoke regulator, but also the smoke PCB, resistor, and wick.  Weeks later when the engine ran, I could still smell the stink of burnt fiberglass.

 

My MTH 0-8-0 did that from the rear of the tender in a lash up after uncoupling cars. was a cool effect but the PS3 board was history. Insulator for the electro rear coupler was mounted backwards causing the axle to short out the coupler soldered terminals.

 

Had a Hudson Jr shoot a 4 inch flame out the stack going up a grade on my layout. Wish I had a video going for each one.
