Recently I have installed and repaired all the smoke units on my steam loks  However, which I brought new, with my 33185 (K BAY 3/6) there is little smoke. It did not come with one originally and I installed a Seuthe #20 unit as my layout is analogue, a Seuthe #24 is recommended for digital as per the instruction book that came with it. I know it makes contact as it makes some smoke and I can feel it touch the contact when I reinstall the body. Could it be the smoke unit is defective? My best smoker is my 33911 (BR 03.10). As a side note I believe every steam lok should smoke and be factory equipped considering Marklin makes a premium product and charges premium prices. Thanks in advance - Fred.

My experience with analog loks is that it takes a lot of speed to make them smoke to any great degree. The unit responds best to full voltage! |

Voltage is good!
Also, don't fill the unit to the top with smoke fluid. Fill it to 75% maximum, otherwise it won't smoke.

Thanks for the replies however I know the speed is not at fault since it is running at or more the speed where other loks work. The most fluid I have put in is 5 drops.
