Have you done this before, will it have to be replaced, how much sooner than if left original?
Never did it before. It was EASY!
Hey John, where did you learn how to do this? Is there an article/web site that you can point me too?

Jim,
Just got home from work and watched both videos. Nice!!
Thanks for sharing.
He’s learned to do videos so now we have to put up with him and his links.[;)]
Very nice - I’m not allowed to “smoke” in the livingroom. Once I get my basement done, I’ll have to look at those links. Great videos, thanks for sharing!

I learned how to do it here on this forum. It’s very easy. Here’s a step by step for you to follow:
Remove the locomotive shell (4 screws)
Remove the screw that holds the smoke unit to the frame
Pull off the smoke unit’s metal cap
Dig out all the old material in the bowl. I used tweezers
Remove the fiberglass sleeve from the heating element with a hobby knife (under the cap)
Place pink or yellow (doesn’t matter) insulation in the bowl. Enough to touch the heating element
Put the cap back on
secure the smoke unit back on the frame with the screw
Put the shell back on the locomotive
Soak the new fiberglass with ~ 15 drops of smoke fluid
Good luck, Jim
