Reply to "Replacing Lionel TMCC Smoke Batting w/ MTH Batting?"

@bluelinec4 I saw that same post when I was doing my research on this subject and put 2 and 2 together. I’ll check the storage closet for a Santa costume haha. Thank you again for your help!

@gunrunnerjohn thank you for your added insight. I did enlarge the intake hole- though I only did 50% of what I’m guessing you mean regarding enlarging. I only used an exacto knife to make the circle of the gasket(referring to the thin almost rectangular part that fits between the smoke unit Board and the chamber/fan. Eventually, I do plan on enlarging the hole in the board itself.

Another question, because it’s tangentially related to the smoke unit but I might make another thread. I noticed that smoke was coming out the back of my engine a few days ago and again last night(culperate already identified in next sentence). While the body and frame fit together perfectly at the front of my engine, in the back the chassis extends a minimal amount over the shell, it can still together without issue, but smoke is seeping out of the rear due to the lack of a snug fit. I did install a 9V battery and had to deal with moving the wires but that’s at the front of the engine.

Anyone ever encounter a situation in which their engine’s shell is too short for the body/chassis and does not fit snuggly/align?
