I have to agree with Jeff. The Cylinder steam effect came from the same bowl as the whistle steam on those equipped locomotives. This unit always had the separate smoke unit and I don't see that Lionel would have changed it.
I don't know if the manual is correct or not. What I can tell you is that I only added smoke fluid down the stack and the whistle steam worked.
Well it would yes because it's turned on, but it's going to consume the existing fluid that was likely added during manufacture then it'll start burning the wick.
