Does the Bachman Spectrum On30 Logging Steam Engines have working sync puffing smoke?
Is there any after market conversion for adding this?
Thank You.

Dear Marc,
None of our On30 locos have smoke. Remember, smoke is made by vaporizing oil, and what goes up...
Have fun!

Marc,
you can´t find puffing smoke on any all available On30 engines. The mechanic parts take their toll to be hidden somewhere in the boiler (No I don´t say that this can´t be done, but there is another disatvantage: all puffing smoke units take away the effort of having Flywheels on the motors - the piston systems puts the brakes on...), by heart I did take this off my two Weaver O-Scale 2-Rail steamers and guess what: They run by far better now...
Plus-it´s like the Bach-man said: Its vaporized oil, you can put a lot of oil and smear on such a brilliant model. This collects dust enourmously, so there´s another negative issue..
Cheers, Tom ;) ;) ;)
Hi, to amuse my kids I buy dry ice and drop little pieces in the smoke stack its not great but the kids love it. it lasts as long as a smoke unit or longer that would fit in that space and leaves nothing to clean up. it does not leave a trail of smoke in the air only the appearance of smoke coming out at the stack.
