Two questions-cellophane around shed-for shpg. purposes? (2) switch on red box inside,it's purpose? (controls what?).

Since I don't have mine until York, the Cellophane, I have no idea. The switch was part of the original design to reverse the pump motor, not sure if it's operational in the production unit.

Thank You! Nothing mentioned in manual what so ever.

The brass knob on top of the boom is non functional. In my original prototype that I supplied to Lionel it was a needle valve to control flow, however the production version does not need it. Secondly an easy way to get the pump primed is to get it programmed and then use the "unload the tank feature" to prime it.

Everyone is talking about pressing the "brake" button and a need to "get it programmed".  The interior detail photos indicate that the insides have a circuit board.  My question is: Can this be used in a traditional environment, i.e., hooked up to a PW ZW?

Great looking accessory.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not, It was designed for command only. It uses the brake function to pulse the pump motor to deliver drops, and precise rotation of the Boom. Even if it were a manual smoke loader a circuit board would still be needed to control the flow. The boom of course would be moved by hand. A simple pulse circuit could be easily designed and use a standard push button for activation. This would be an easy version for Lionel to make.
