Well I'm three for three now on backwards spinning smoke units. I've fixed my LionMaster T-1, NYC RS-11, and now I'm re-doing my LionMAster J3a.

What really amazes me is that LIONEL engineers designed a fan to spin counter-clockwise, and installed it in an air-chamber designed for clockwise rotation of the air-flow.

How does that happen?!?!

In any event, the results are really spectacular.

Thanks,

I was wondering which fuild to use? I was getting leary of the JT that seamed to burn off too quick with the JT's although I like the lighter smoke than MTH's. I had used Super Smoke in the past with my lionel's.

Has Lionel changed there smoke? I heard the LGB is good also. But thought there were issues with it.

Jamie, some of us "mix" it. JT's in and then some Lionel. Haven't tried mixing it in the bottle yet. If you mod the units, they are going to burn more anyway.
