[:(!][:(!] My K-line milado has stoopped smoking! I run in command, and have used bachmann smoke fluid for months with no problem. Now, it stopped! Yes, I tried the smoke switch.

Welcome to the K-Line Mikado No Smoke Club. [:D] I thought I was the only member!

When mine stopped smoking the plastic piston inside the smoke unit was stuck. The spring was not strong enough to overcome the infinitesimal sludge build up from the smoke fluid. I took it apart and cleaned it with GOO-Gone. Did yours stop chugging, too?

It works better, but I wish I could find a stronger spring. [:(] Sometimes just blowing down the stack helps.
