Train Whistle Won’t Sound

Gary is having a problem with train smoke and a train whistle and asks readers for advice:

"I bought an inexpensive Lionel steam engine (Scout) for my grandson. I am using a Lionel 1033 transformer, but very little smoke comes out and there is no whistle. Does anyone have any ideas please? Thanks!"
