HO lionel 0646 SP Smoker with Whistle questions ??
Posted by TeddyB on Saturday, February 19, 2011 10:43 AM

Hi ALL!
I just got a hold of one of these HO lionel 0646 SP's. It does run. OK...stupid question it runs on DC , right? It is supposed to smoke I have Liquid Smoke hanging around, will that work? I got the Whistle to spool up on the Tender, it doesn't sound very whistle-y? I don't have instructions, love to take this apart and tune it up. Maybe the smoke and whistle don't run right because of lack of power? How much DC (?) power does it need?

Many thanks, Ted

I'm not that up on Lionel HO in fact you might get better answers over on the model railraod side of this web site as they deal in HO and N scale mainly. now Lionle only did Ho for a few years then stopped and tried it agin for a few but thats about it. I never heard of a Lionel HO that had a smoker in it ( not saying they didn't) and yes they need a dc transformer. (And if I remember right lionel acually didn't make them they were made by a couple of different companies one was ( okay my spelling stinks but will try) riverossi or something like that.
