Reply to "A Question About Lionel Smoke Regulators"

Soo LineOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Thanks Rod and Dave for your replies.

Any other Regulators I have replaced were directly to frame with paste. This is the first I've seen with the pad. From the pics you can see that the screw does bolt the Regulator to frame. I don't think it requires isolation....unless Lionel changed something.....? The metal part on the bottom of the heat zinc would contact the frame if paste were used.

There is a lot of heat generated to this Regulator. Lionel used a 6 OHM resistor only to find out it was too much for the Regulator and consequently was prematurely taking them out. They recommended that owners change the resistor to 8 OHM to lighten the load on the Regulator.

So I guess we are back at the beginning.....would the introduction of paste while I have it apart be a better choice or does it matter?

Thank You
