Reply to "1997 Lionel 6-18053 Century Club 726 berkshire not smoking"

Hi Jim, Thank you for the reply.

Since I was told the engine was new and had never been used, I added 8 drops as the Lionel instructions for this engine callout 4 to 8 drops. I ran it for a while and never got anything from the engine in the way of smoke. This is only the second new, never been used, engine that I have bought since I was 10 and started collecting Lionel trains. The first one didn't smoke well at first also, until I had added a second round of drops and now it smokes great! So I added a second round of 8 drops (total of 16) and that was when I saw a very small amount of smoke, also this small amount of smoke was after it sat for a few hours. I'm of the opinion right now that it might take more fluid at first to get the smoker to work fresh out of the box.

I would be very interested in your thoughts.
