Problem with Broadway Limited J1d Hudson

Maybe BLI is trying to shaft us!! I didn’t get any smoke fluid with my M1 4-8-2.

First the stopped including the funnel so the smoke fluid only goes down the stack and not into the blower motor where it softens the plastic and causes the impeller to not work, now they skip the smoke fluid as well. Hmm…

Those of you that did not get smoke fluid - make sure you turn the switch for the smoke to off, or you will ruin the smoke unit whent he sample filling runs dry, and when you finally get some smoke fluid - it won’t work. Using the function key to turn it off in DCC is not enough - next time you power up the layout it defaults to back on again.

I actually already have some fluid that came with my MTH locos, and it seems to work better anyways, I usually just turn it off in DCC when I’m running the loco. And only use it sparingly or when showing people.
