I bought from MTH a PS2/3 smoke unit to upgrade my Williams GS-4. The loco has a regulated 6v power board in it that ran the original smoke unit and lights. When I hooked up the MTH unit to it the smoke was ok but nothing like what MTH smokes units can do. Do I need to hook this up straight to track power? I will be running 18v DCC to the track, would it have to be rectified first? That should give me ~16.5vdc to the smoke unit, is it enough?
This is the unit I got:
SMOKE UNIT / PS 2 & 3 / 7.5mm POST HEIGHT / 25mm W x 36mm L / BRASS CUP 4.6mm H
