Reply to "Legacy Engine Woes--3 Differnt Problems"

So close!  How much are you adding between soaks and how long did it run?  Yes you need the Legacy 990 to increase the labor... otherwise the smoke output defaults to "medium".

20 or so drops; it's hard to be perfectly accurate ;-)

The exact behavior: 

  1. First start up after 2 nights soak:  the cab lights still blinked, but I had to shut down after a a second or two because a conventional engine left on the tracks accidentally got power and took off.
  2. Removed offending engine and started back up, and I noticed the cab lights were not blinking, and a wisp of smoke.  There was much rejoicing.
  3. Let the engine run laps--about 12--on a 5' x 10' 054 oval.
  4. Noticed low smoke output but NO blinking lights, so slowed the engine and put in more Eliminator, again about 20 drops.
  5. Let it run again, smoking.
  6. On about the 4the lap, I noticed the smoke stop and the lights start blinking.
  7. Stopped the engine to let it soak more.
