Dear all
I am unfamiliar with Lionel and TMCC, got my first two locos last week, a U30C and a U33C
Here is the thing I have read the posts on modifying the smoke unit for better smoke (the video) but I have a different problem that is no smoke at all, and I wonder if this is a circuit board problem or a system reset problem.
The U30C works fine
The U33C has the following symptoms
1. The little fan unit cycles as it should on idle
2. The heater cycles (should it do that) but it never gets very hot, it gets hot to the touch but not enough to vaporise the smoke liquid
Might this be a smoke unit problem or is there a feature on the main PCB that needs resetting ? not sure what the little PCB attached to the smoke unit does ? could this be the problem area ?
Any pointers would be appreciated, is there a logical test procedure that I should follow ?
I have ordered a new unit from Boxcar Bill and when that arrives I will swap them out and see if that isolates the fault between main control board and the smoke unit
Thanks in advance
