I have a Lionel 6-38096 4-6-4 Celebration Series Hudson #773 that has very poor smoke output compared with my other Lionel and MTH steam engines. It has to be run a long time before it begins to smoke and then the smoke output is very low. I've had the engine since new and it has always operated this way. I received it after any warranty would have expired, so warranty coverage was not an option. I run it using Z-1000 and GW-180 transformers using TMCC, so it is operating on 18 volts. Any suggestions on what I can do to increase smoke output on this engine?
