Inside the Reefer

The four small screws for the door support must be removed, however, one of the screws is hidden under the fuel tank (screwdriver points)  and I saw no way to remove the tank (probably glued on) so I drilled an access hole.







Two screws at each end by the trucks releases the body from the chassis.









The smoke fluid does travel down at a good angle to the smoke unit

The smoke unit.  Lionel did use the good fiberglass wicking they sell on their web site


Lionel used a 27 OHM smoke resistor










A very interesting piece and well done except for difficulty accessing the one screw holding the door support on.  Be careful as you gently pry out the door supports from between the body and chassis.  They are in there tightly.  Just use a screwdriver and move your way down gently prying.

Using a 27 OHM resistor will keep the heat down and reduce charring of the wicking.  I use mine quite a bit and you can see just a small amount of brown on the wick.

Perhaps.  But you might also try opening it to edit, deleting the entire contents, then clicking on the update button.  After that it should be posted as completely blank.

Then open it again to edit, and add everything back in, before clicking on the update button again.

(It's a roundabout way to accomplish the task, but there's then no need to involve a moderator -- assuming this process works as described.)

Thanks Mike....Here is the most confusing part.....I believed I fixed things....On my end here I can see the pics nice and large, cleaned up with text and in order.

I can leave and come back in and all is there.

Had a friend of mine go in from his home and he now does not see pics.  Yet I can here ..................what the heck!!!

The problem as I understand it, is that you are unknowingly entering only links to the photos, which the forum page generator turns into photos when you click "Update Now" in the editor, but not the photos themselves.

If those links do not point to a location that is accessible over the internet then the photos will not appear to other viewers even though you can see them.

Using "Add Attachment" apparently puts a copy of each photo on the forum server, so that it can be found over the internet.

(BTW --I've had some forum members tell me that this isn't true, but at the same time others who say it definitely is, for what it's worth.)
