Reply to "Lionel Veranda Turbine smoke units"

The front smoke element always stayed on whether the fan was running or not unless you turned it off with the CAB-1 sequence. 

Another thing that might be worth checking is to see if Odyssey is actually on. Someone on here years ago actually had the on/off switch wired backwards. 

I've had the switch wiring issue too but not on these engines. In any case, the Odyssey in them (whichever version it is) has been a little problematic from time to time; I don't know whether it functions to even out voltage differences from the track supply to control boards and smoke systems as well as the motors. Anyway, add that to the list of things that might be checked.

My experience is that both smoke elements are always on unless shut down manually but I haven't noticed them being powered enough to produce much smoke when the fan motors are not engaged. One of the manuals GRJ has linked above states in definite terms that it takes the smoke units some time to warm up, which I have found to be accurate but also not meaning that once that has happened they are on full power all the time.

Interesting indeed and it would be a real shame not to find a fix.
