I have a Lionel K-4 that's a TMCC Engine that will smoke up the house in conventional mode. I bought a 990 controller and all functions except the smoke will work as according to the manual. What is odd is 0 will make the generator put out as long as it's held but not after. 0 is for stopping the engine which it will do but has nothing to do with the smoke generator per the manual. 8 is for turning it off and #9 is for turning the smoke generator on in the manual. Will have to get Lionel Support on the horn again I guess to figure out what's going on. I had hope my new ZW L would cure the problem. It was the answer for my Power issues but not this one.
