MTH Railking SW1500 Switcher with PS3: does it have a smoke unit?

Hi Paul,

I've got the PS3 Canton and NASA SW1500s, they do not have smoke.  The stacks are sealed.

Cheers,
Mark

Those are generic instructions. I have (6) MTH PS3 SW1500s and they assuredly do NOT have smoke.

Thanks for the replies.

Even without smoke unit and no cab figures, this is a neat looking engine, reminiscent of my boyhood Marx Switcher. The horn arrived bent, so I gently bent it back, hopefully not weakening the metal. I'll lube this puppy up and give her a test run this weekend.

I don't know why they didn't add cab figures as they equal > play value, which is what I thought Railking represented. Has anyone added them to this model? There appears to be the one motor exposed in the cab, and not much room to the sides.

Took this pic this afternoon of #1545 hard at work on the Plywood Empire Route:

Hey Paul ,                                                                                                    I did add figures to the cab by filing parts of the figures to fit up close to the windows and and get clearance for the motor. 

Since the motor is exposed I decided to apply flat black paint to as much of it as possible .   It does stand out but I didn't add any kind of shrouding .

Overall it looks better than how it came without the figures.

On Dummy units i am adding a full cab interior.

My Kline Conrail unit has a full cab interior because the motors are in the trucks.
