Engine With Poor Smoke Output

Fred has a Vision line Big Boy and asks readers:

“I am looking for a video or info on removing the shell on my Vision Line Up Big Boy. I want to replace the smoke elements. It was sent twice to Lionel only to last for a short time. I have replaced elements on my diesel, but I am apprehensive about this large steam engine. Thanks.”

Post your answers or suggestions under this post if you can assist Fred.

  • Ken John says:

    I have seen many loco’s with smoke/steam emitting from the chimney and it always “wispy”. Personally i think it looks better with none. The other thing is it is always associated with a horrendous stench, of some chemical that is probably not to good for the lungs. KJ
