I have the legacy Strasburg Camelback. The whistle steam doesn't work. I took it apart and the whistle fan works fine. The smoke element on that side is brown all around, including the solder points. It doesn't even get warm if I hold the whistle on. Is it possible to have someone solder in a new smoke element? Or are these known for other problems, like the boards aren't sending the signal to turn on the smoke? (I'm no expert on these.). The whole smoke unit board or whatever the flat part is containing both smoke elements is available from Lionel. It is about 120 bucks though. If you know any more about how I could fix this please let me know.
