Hello all!  I have recently come into possession of a North Pole and Southern #12 engine and tender.  I love it!  It runs great and the sound is amazing!  I did, however, think that it was a smoker and I can't figure out if it is or not.  So my question is if anyone knows if it is a smoker and, if not, is there a way to convert it?  Thanks in advance for tips and answers!

Hi,

There is a smoke unit, and the switch for it is behind the smokebox door.  If it gets left on without smoke fluid it burns out.  See the instructions here:

Have fun with it.
