Help. 

 

Is anybody else having problems with low smoke output from the new Railking PS3 4-4-0 19th Century Steamers?  I recently purchased one.  Smoke unit was wimpy at best.  Nothing like the volumes of smoke expected from MTH engines of all kinds.  So, I sent the engine back and seller sent me a new one.  Same issue.  Wimpy smoke.  

 

I know it's not my DCS system as the engine has the same symptoms on another layout and I have other MTH engines that smoke like crazy on both layouts.  I know it's not the amount of smoke fluid as I have carefully started with just a little fluid and then gradually added fluid and made sure there are no bubbles while filling -- any of my engines for that matter.  Been down this road for years.

 

Yeah, I know I can send it in.  But, am curious if it's just my bad luck or if MTH has a design or Mfg problem with these engines.  Thanks.
