She does now! I soaked it in WD-40, then CTC Electrical Cleaner, then added 5 drops of fluid. Will probably need to inspect again after a little run time.
Nice John, my nephew bought one of these post war K-4's at a train show, He's a Pennsy guy, and a postwar guy already at age 15. lol I didn't even know Lionel made a proper Pennsy type boiler k4. My Dad had one as a kid too, really neat engine.
I followed your advice , using the WD40 and CTC Electric Clear worked great , my 2046 might be my best smoker , (I also made sure the air passage was clear)
Did you down size 😂 looks like it’s working good 👍, I got a couple old Marx and another that say use pellets but I just use smoke fluid works fine don’t know if it matters
It was getting gummed up with smoke pellet residue, so I soaked it in WD-40 then CTC Electrical Cleaner. 5 drops of smoke fluid seem to do the trick. Thanks!
Amazing John! Smokes really good!😊

Look at those sparks flying
This is some really old track that came with the 262 steam engine, I think it might work for one of the under the Christmas tree loops.

They're great runners with Magne-traction and a whistling tender. I like the high boiler plate headlight, squared firebox and PRR Keystone.
Great smoker John!
Thank you! It seems like the smoke fluid works better than pellets, which aren't easy to find at a reasonable price. They both smell the same too.
Runs good and the smoker works well, happy thanksgiving 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Awesome 👍
Happy Thanksgiving John 😊

Awesome! Yes, make sure that little puffer hole isn't blocked. 😉
Looks good john
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 💯
Smokes pretty good John! I'm not much of a smoke fan, due to my allergies, but I may look into trying some of this stuff out!
JT's Mega Steam works really well. But make sure you clean out any smoke pellet residue before switching, or you'll have a chalky mess to deal with. 😉
Cool 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! This is my "under the Christmas tree" area, was doing some staging. I call it Christmas Junction. 😉
@ nice John 👍happy t to thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Looks great, did you clean the unit or rebuild it ?

thanks, so the WD-40 dissolved the pellet residue ?
It seems like it did the trick. Then the CTC removed any WD-40 residue.
