LGB Smoke Generator

Bill has a question for readers regarding an LGB Smoke Generator:

“I have an LGB mogul, # 23191, label reads 0-24vdc and the smoke generator has failed. I removed it and now I can’t find it for a reading for a serial # or voltage rating, if so marked. I see that there are several voltages available, 5v, 0-18 and 0-24. Can anyone advise which I should buy? I have read some threads that generally say that a 5v would last longer because of less voltage at ‘dry’ times. But, will it work ok with a 0-24v engine? I dont believe I have an on-off switch that is for the smoke generator, so I would like to get one that will have a long life.”
