The Lok is great but I think that the smoke unit is fried because it would only puff for a short time compared to the rest of my steam fleet. This was my first experience with the smaller smoke unit. All my other Loks were equipped with the Seuthe #10 which puff for quite a long time. Since then I bought several more of these Loks without smoke. I am in the process of getting together a spare parts order (sliders, brushes, etc) and I am not sure whether I should get the units for the small chimney Loks. My question is: What is the run time comparison: small vs.#10 units? Will I be disappointed? Is Seuthe still around and if so what is the part number of the small units? Thanks, Mikey
		I love the smell of smoke fluid in the morning .

I filled a #10 unit level to the top and it took 13 drops. Now I need to find out how many drops can the smaller unit take? I normally run them with 7-9 drops. Mikey

Mikey they normally take a bit of hammering but they don't like fluid when its spilled, unintentionally
