Lionel Smoke fluid Loader/Use

Brian K posted:

Hello! I am new tot he forum, but not to O Gauge trains. I recently purchased the Lionel Legacy Smoke Fluid loader and have one issue. When installed, the fluid appears to be dispensing properly, the light works, and also shuts on and off with my CAB-2 remote. The issue is that the arm does not swing as directed in the instructions. I turn the red wheel as directed and get no motion. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

We presume you have given it an id via the program/run switch, and, have added it to your Cab2 as an accessory.  Then you access it with this address. If needed here's a link to the manual.

Is there a way to hook up the fluid filler station with conventional control (hard wiring)?

I had issues with my smoke fluid filler. The manual clearly states you can use either the Lionel quick connect or standard wiring. I soldered two wires to my track accessory wiring bus, as I did with all other such accessories. I programmed it to my Cab 2, but only some of the functions worked. It did not pump oil. I returned it to my dealer for an exchange but purchased the Lionel plug-in. With all three wires installed, the accessory functioned as advertised. Despite the manual clearly saying you can use a two wire standard connection, all functions are not available with this connection type.
