Smoke question, I knew this would happen...
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 24, 2006 1:03 PM

Hi Folks,

We have company today, and in trying to be a good host, I ran the train so the kids could see it, which was of course a big hit. My problem is I let my daughter "help" me put smoke fluid in the engine and of course its way more than is supposed to be. I tipped it over to get some out, but I dont know if any is stuck in there. Will this harm anything? Should I just keep running the train until it stops smoking, or is it ok to let it go? Thanks.

The worst thing that has happened to me with an overfill is that it gets on the tracks and I have no traction.

No problem, just let it run.. Only with the pellet type the smoke unit will bock by overfill.

BTW, to clean up spills I use a very high tech absorbent paper from a roll in the bathroom. Laugh [(-D]
