Hello all,
I am new to the forum and to these products. This is probably a novice question, but I can use your help none the less. I have a Lionel 263E with ProtoSound 2 and Synchronized Puffing Protosmoke system. I purchased the MTH smoke oil and put 15 drops (more or less) into the smoke stack / opening. There is a smaller opening inside of the nickel plated stack and I assume that I am to drop the oil carefully down that opening. Is that correct? Next, I have read that there is an on / off switch on the engine beneath the rear truck (holding engine upside down). I can find no such switch on this engine. On the tender, there are 2 potentiometers. One is not marked but I assume that controls volume of sound. The other is labeled "smoke". I tried turning it all the way clockwise. Nothing changed. So all the way counter clockwise. Nothing. Set it in the middle, nothing. Could it be there is an on / off switch elsewhere on the unit? Did I not put the smoke oil in the right place? Help! Thanks. Newbie.
