Hello All,
Just got my mitts on a Lionel 736 Berkshire and set from 1950. I called down to the Train Shop to see if they carry smoke pellets. They do. However, the man I spoke to on the phone said that I could use smoke fluid instead of pellets for my engine as long as I do not have a smoke bulb. I don't think I have a smoke bulb. When I look down the stack there are small wire strips that look like toaster heating elements. When I open the smokebox door there is a standard screw base lightbulb. Is it safe to use smoke fluid in this engine? If I do are there any pointers to follow? It's not that I don't trust my dealer --- I just want to make sure I don't damage such a valuable engine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
