Smoking Locomotive

Donald models HO and asks:

“I have a Bachman HO 2-6-2 locomotive that smokes. Q: Is there any way you can clean the smoking unit if it becomes clogged with dried burnt oil inside the smoke stack?”

One Response to Smoking Locomotive

  • Barrie says:

    Hello Donald,
    I suggest you try your loco on patches to deal with the problem. If that doesn’t work I’m afraid its cold turkey! Filthy habit anyway and as you mention, lots of mess to clean up.
    Suggest you go electric, much cleaner and won’t smell up the train room.
    Good luck.
    Barrie
