RailKing 6-8-6 Bantam Turbine Steam Engine

ProtoSmoke

Unit Operation

This steam locomotive contains a smoke unit

that outputs smoke through the smokestack on

the boiler of the engine. The smoke unit is

essentially a small heating element and wick that

soaks up and then heats a mineral oil-based fluid

that emits a harmless smoke. The smoke is then

forced out of the stack by a small electric fan.

With a few easy maintenance steps, you should

enjoy trouble-free smoke unit operation for

years.

• When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20

drops of smoke fluid through the smokestack

(see Fig. 4). We recommend M.T.H.

ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or LVTS fluids (a

small pipette of ProtoSmoke fluid is included).

Do not overfill the unit or the fluid may leak out

and coat the interior engine components.

• If you choose not to add the fluid (or have

already added the fluid but choose to run

smoke-free), turn off the smoke unit switch

located under the engine body (see Fig. 5).

Failure either to add fluid to the unit or to turn it

off may damage the smoke unit heating element

and/or wicking material.

3. Slip the new tire onto the wheel. You may find it useful to use two small

flathead screwdrivers to stretch the tire over the wheel.

4. If you twist the tire while stretching it over the wheel, you will need to

remove and reinstall the tire. Otherwise your engine will wobble while

operating.

5. Make sure the tire is fully seated inside the groove. Use a razor blade to

trim away any excess tire that doesn’t seat itself inside the groove properly.

One set of replacement tires is included with the model. Additional tires are

available directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department (phone: 410-381-2580;
