I have the Halloween version. I had great smoke output from the tender and main stacks. However last night I again added a few more drops of smoke fluid to both stacks. Now I’m not getting much smoke from the actual tender stack, but instead the smoke just comes out of the the actual tender! Specifically I see smoke coming from the coal area (under the piece covering the engine switches) and from under the tender wheels. Not gonna lie, the effect looks absolutely fantastic! But is there an issue? It wasn’t doing this before. Did something break inside?

I would suggest replacing the smoke wick and filling with 20 drops or less and wait a few minutes while the smoke wick get saturated, then only add smoke fluid when the smoke slows down but do not over fill smoke unit, it should then work perfectly, your batting could be black and crusty which would mean your wick has been cooked!

I had a problem with no smoke from whistle - send back to Lionel in concord - got back today with report that they just added 9 drops to main stack and he whistle smoked ok. but when I put it on track the front stack and tender worked fine but nothing from the whistle!   i have not overfilled the smoke unit, have tries all levels od smoke (low.med,high) and no change   i do have to blow some air down tender every no and then but that smoke unit is fine.. sending  back is a pain  any ideas?

ps the sounds ,bell, whistle,crew talk forward,reverse all work fine - using cab2 /990

I'll inject a little story here about smoke units! I had an overhead G Scale layout in my office and a display  in front office that I would change every 4 or 5 weeks!  I had a MTH Erie Triplex set up on rollers to run!  I put Mega Steam "coal" scent in and fired it up! The kids loved It!! It was super realistic as next door tenant called checking to see if something was burning!! Mega steam has many scents available!PIC00028PIC00031
