Reply to "Lionel Legacy SD90 Issues"

I'll ask the age-old question, what is the exact Lionel product number?  Your symptoms suggest you have an earlier Legacy locomotive with the separate smoke regulator that has just crapped out.  However, without the actual Lionel product number, we'd all just be guessing.

One thing I can say for certain.  If you EVER look down the stack and see the smoke unit resistor glowing red, shut down and don't power up again until you isolate the cause of the failure!  You can only do more damage by continuing to run, in some cases a lot more damage!  For diesels, the heat of 40-50 watts in the smoke unit when the regulator fails is enough to melt and deform the plastic shell!
