RickM46 posted:John B, Mike knows his stuff about smoke units; fixed my Big Boy units and they smoke better than new. However, since that, I have repaired Big Boy's main stack due to a resistor failure - easy access, Lionel had all the parts (PCB board, fan motors, reservoir, packing, screws, funnel), took my time, fellas on the forum helped me through it - priceless!
That is the trouble with the E6 lack of space, as a few repair guys have said “they packed too much crap into a small space” . Getting the shell back on is a big problem. The Big Boy does not have that problem . In addition I am all thumbs. Can’t fix a darn thing.
