Hey everyone, I have a LGB 21741 loco, can anyone help me with putting smoke fluid in it and turning smoke on....Thanks

Yes you need LGB smoke fluid. Basically you put the fluid in teh stack on run the engine. There may be a switch somewhere to activate the smoke unit. Did you get the instructions with the loco?

It's a real nice one.. I have one similar, the 2074D Spreewald loco:

No I didnt get any instructions with it. There is a switch in the cab (three position) but it just turns the loco on and off i guess 1 pos.-loco runs,,,2 pos.-just the light come on,,,,,3 pos.- nothing. Maybe you can tell me what that switch is exactly for....

Thanks,,,,,,:D

The third position is so you can have the loco on the rails, but not running - useful when you have a bunch of analog locos around.

If it's like mine, the smoke unit will be on all the time then, just need the smoke fluid.

I added smoke and nothing, is there a heating element of some sort that maybe needs to be replaced????:confused:

Possibly, usually the loco is pretty robust. Also, make sure you just add a tiny bit of fluid, otherwise it will take a long time to heat up.

with a bit of fluid in there run the loco for at least 5 minutes at medium throttle.
