Adding water to your locomotive

Water can be added to your locomotive’s smokestack to create a water vapor smoke effect. Follow the instructions below.
Note! The Water Vapor Smoke Effect only works on certain models of Lionel Battery Powered O-Gauge train sets.

  1. Locate the water dropper included with your train set.

  2. Fill your dropper with water. Be sure to secure the cap when not in use to avoid a spill.

  3. Locate the black plug positioned on the top of your engine’s smokestack. Avoid adding water to any other location on your engine’s smokestack to avoid operational issues.

  4. Remove the black plug and begin by squeezing water into the smokestack until the water reaches the surface. Add this black plug back to its appropriate position when your train set is not in use. Refer to figure 1.

  5. Turn on your engine as shown in figure 2.

  6. Turn the dial on the remote to the Forward position to watch your train move around the track as it puffs smoke.

Having Trouble?

  1. There may be an air bubble in the smokestack. Try gently blowing into the stack to clear out air which may be trapped inside.
  2. Your engine may need more water. Try adding 3-5 drops of water at a time until you begin to see a smoke effect appear.
  3. If this issue persists, reach out to our customer care line at 1-800-4-LIONEL (454-6635) for assistance. Available Monday through Friday 9AM to 6PM EDT.
