If you experience poor or no smoke output when the smoke unit is on and has fluid,
check the wick to see if it has become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent around the
heating element. Remove the boiler as shown below. Remove the smoke unit inspection
cover from the locomotive's body (see right). After removing the chassis and inspection
cover screws, lift the inspection plate away and inspect the wick. If it is darkly
discolored and hard, it should be replaced. When priming new wick add 40 drops.

1. Turn the car over and remove the two mounting screws holding the roof on.

chassis. You may need to twist the car a little to make to roof come loose from
the body.
3. Gently pull the bulb away from its housing and push the replacement bulb
