When I add smoke fluid to my Lionchief Polar Express, it smokes from the stack and also from right behind the front leading trucks. I have had the locomotive for three years and it just started doing this. Has anyone else experienced this and could it be damaging?

These smoke units have a tendency to stick at the piston. Also, it could have a cracked smoke unit. Take out the four screws holding the shell on and take a look. If the smoke piston is gummed up just clean it and reassemble.
I took the shell off and found the smoke piston was quite gummed up. Cleaned it up and pull it back together. That solved the problem, thank you some much for your help.
