If you see smoke in the funnel but it doesn't puff, it could be the sensor controlling the smoke unit.. It might need a new one. BLI usually rushes service for warranty work especially when just purchased.

Are you using DC or DCC? I believe there's a DCC function that turns it on and off, so perhaps you accidentally turned it off with your controller.
Read the instructions that came with the locomotive and see if there's a command to turn the smoke on and off.
Did you add more liquid smoke fluid?

I bought a BLI Hudson in HO Scale, new in box from an internet retailer. I received it today and everything worked great! After running it for about 5 minutes tonight the smoke stopped "puffing". I can see it built up in the stack, and it just lingers around a bit, but the fan may have stopped working? Loose wire? Anybody else have this issue? Also does anyone know how to open up the Loco? If it's just a loose wire I can take care of it. But I can't know until I get a look inside. Thanks!
