Hi

I've just received a Roco 68193 and after some testing it appears the smoke generator is not working. One small puff and then nothing but a buzz when I turn the function on. Does anyone have any ideas? Costly to send back to Germany from Aus for repairs.

Thanks

Cameron

Sorry - novice error, wasn't aware that here was a cap in the stack that needed to be removed, not obvious in the instrctions. Now done. Have smoke out the stack but still noting from the cylinders.

I have the first version of this loco 68191. There were no caps to remove from the chimney or the cylinders on this version.

Is it possible there are cylinder caps to remove as well. Failing that, perhaps the pipes to the cylinders are air locked or maybe just need a small clean. As the smoke is functioning I doubt there is anything majorly wrong.

I am not awareness of any reliability issues with these dynamic smoke locos.

Hi Ashley

Thanks. I assume that I just fill the oil as normal into the seuthe unit. Am still not sure how the smoke then gets from the stack to the cylinders. And how to clean these?

Thanks
