Lionel Red Baron BTO Set

Question regarding CAB 1 mode, select the engines ID and hit the info button on the top right of the controller.  Use the red dial to scroll over to the the box that says control.  Once there you can select legacy mode instead of cab 1.

Thanks! Did what you suggested and it worked! Once I changed to Legacy Mode the numbers changed to icons, speed bar now at the top etc. That problem is solved. Many thanks for you help. Now I have to try and determine why no smoke is coming out. I added 12 drops to prime as suggested (its a new engine (Red Baron SD-40) that did smoke for a bit but stopped) I would think 12 drops should be enough.  Also blew into it but nothing .  I have had it happen with other engines that they dont smoke and then after some time they start to smoke. Maybe if there is too much in there it will need to evaporate. The area by the smoke unit is pretty warm so I think it is working.  Thanks again for you help. Members in this forum seem to be able to solve just about any problem.

whistlebell1. I have found lionel smoke units to be problematic. I have found that sometimes 20 drops is not enough and added more. Maybe the batting has already burned which will not smoke well. Make sure you blow puffs of air down into the smoke unit. You might have an air lock which will cause no or very minimal smoke. 59 degree temperature should not have an effect. I gave up dealing with the smoke units and turned them off. As far as the cab 1 and cab 2 I too am relatively new to the system and do not want to give you wrong information.

I have had snoke issues before on other engines . Sometimes the problem resolve themselves. I think if you overfill it takes a while for the unit to start working again. Maybe the fluid needs to burn off or evaporate. In the mean time at least the engine is running great!! Thanks again for your help.

Sharp looking engine!
