Lubrication

You should lubricate the engine to prevent it from squeaking. Use light household oil

and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in Fig. 5. Do not over-oil. Use only a drop

or two on each pivot point.

Priming The Smoke Unit

When preparing to run this engine, add 30-40 drops of smoke fluid through the

smokestack. We recommend M.T.H. ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or LVTS fluids. Do not

overfill the unit or the fluid may leak out and coat the interior engine components.

If you choose not to add the fluid (or have already added the fluid but choose to run

smoke-free), rotate the smoke unit knob located inside the boiler front (see Fig. 6) to the

off position (rotate clockwise). If you wish to regulate the smoke output intensity, turn

the knob between full counterclockwise and full clockwise until the desired smoke

output is reached. Failure either to add fluid to the unit or to turn it off may damage the

smoke unit heating element and/or wicking material.

While MTH does not recommend operating outdoors in inclement weather (in order to

prevent possible damage to the electronics), we have included for your convenience, a

smoke stack “cap” inside your locomotive packaging. This cap should be inserted on the

smoke stack to prevent moisture from entering the smoke unit chamber.
