The 691RESC018 is ceramic coated, the 691RS18OHM is a wire wound. Just drop the - between numbers.

@Bill ...  I'm finding Lionel part # 691RESC018  .... would this be it?

I'm using conventional mode and want my PE engine to smoke like crazy!

Thank you in advance.

If you are running conventional and like smoke, and lots of it, install this resistor 691-RS18-OHM. Be advised if you run command you will have fire coming out the stack.

One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.

@Boxcar Bill - do you know if these smoke units would be better than the original units put in the PE engine back in 2004?

Does anybody have the part number for the smoke element for the Lionel 1225 Polar Express?
