Well, I ran it for several days and it was smoking great. Then I decided to run it with smoke off. I hit aux1 8 and it went off but now aux1 9 is not turning it back on. I seem to be back to where I was before. Not sure now if turning up voltage was really a factor before or if that was coincidence???
Thank you Roy. I found your discussion with Joe 14 years later and it solved my problem. I purchased a SF 4-6-4 Hudson for my father in 2000. When we first turned it on it smoked great. However a couple of days later it stopped smoking. I tried many of the things mentioned in your posts. Nothing worked. Unfortunately my father died in 2012 and last year I took the locomotive to my home. I was surprised when the smoke unit was working great. Then last week it stopped again. I again tried everything I could think of again and nothing worked. Then I saw your post that said it needed at least 16 volts to work. I turned up my transformer and sure enough it smoked again. I wish I had known that back in 2000.
Regards, Roy
I'm back!
