Smoke unit on Lionel 247. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

This is the post war version...Old Rob and I are trying to figure out how the smoke unit is attached to the motor. Here are 4 pics he took. Any help on this would be appreciated. We looked at Olsens site and found nothing of use...

Marty: In photo #2 you can see an arm/bracket on the smoke unit that has a U shaped opening. Further along that plastic piece toward the smoke chamber is a shoulder molded into the plastic. If you set that smoke unit up against the motor frame and align the U shape with the hole in the frame, you will be able to screw a screw over the red U shaped plastic into the frame holding the smoke unit in place. The smoke bellows/flapper in already mounted onto the motor frame and should move freely when it is pushed as if with the crosshead. Once the unit is mounted into the boiler body and secured with the crosshead/front truck steamchest bracket, it should work okay. Hope this helps. Dennis M.

Thanks for the help Dennis and Marty. I received this engine as a basket case and am fixing it for a local man.
