@gunrunnerjohn posted:It's worth checking any engine that has the small single resistor smoke unit that the VO-1000 has. The issue is that MTH packaged the wrong smoke control type for these engines and they assumed the full sized dual-resistor smoke unit. The single resistor unit will overheat with that chain file loaded.
So does that mean this locomotive is not a great smoker? I noticed in some videos the smoke output almost seems it's not fan driven or its a low fan speed. It's appears at least in the 4 stack units the smoke just seems to "drift" out of the stacks without a lot of force from a fan motor.
