Smoking Tank Car
Bill asks readers:
“I have a new smoking tank car, I have inserted the appropriate liquid but I cannot get the smoke to appear. Does it make a difference if I run the train slower or faster. Currently I cannot see or smell the smoke.”
If you can assist Bill, please comment below.

I have a caboose with the same issue, I was told they smoke only for track side, and the smoke is very visible
hope it helped

Does the car have a DCC decoder in it that turns the smoke on and off? Or how about a switch hidden somewhere that does the same. If these are all no then check the contacts on the wheelsets and make sure all is good. A clean track will help too.
