Disney Main Street Railroad Train Set: Does anyone know how to get it to smoke again?

I would suggest calling Disney Merchandise Services and letting them know that it is no longer working properly and see what they can do for you. They're always willing to go the extra mile when it comes to things like that. Their number is: 1-407-363-6200. I hope this is helpful. Please forgive the delay in responding as I did not see your post until now. :-)

I've called Outdoor Leisure products directly for support, I am unsure if they offer replacement parts but I bet they would. Here is their number 866.475.5180. Good luck and that is a great smoker

Hello, Akshay. I'm happy to help. First, please make sure your batteries are in place and are installed correctly. They can be accessed from the BACK of the engine by removing the small screw with a Phillips screwdriver. As far as turning the train on, hold the engine with the front facing left. You will see 3 wheels at the bottom of the train. Look just above the 3rd wheel to the right and you will see a small black switch. This turns the train on and off. My model has a small sticker with a red arrow pointing left just above the on/off switch. I hope this helps. Alan

This set has On/off switches for smoke and sound. RailSounds RC sound system with steam chuffing and background sounds, whistle, bell, and user-activated announcements. Basically ON/OF control but no volume control. I see that another loco option has volume control: Pennsylvania LionChief™ Plus 2-8-2 Mikado SKU: 6-81297

I bought the train set last year. It is designed to be built up inside the tree. It attaches to the midway up the tree and goes around in a circle. I just left it on the floor and it worked ok. My two year old loved it, but it was tedious putting the train on the track every time. I just bought a different type of train at toys r us. Its design for the floor. The pieces for this train are small and fragile.

Try putting it in the track and roll it around the track several times FAST. If it's been sitting idle for a long time, this might bring it "back to life".

I called Fisher Price and the first rep said she did not know. i had to call a second 800# and the rep said the train is stand alone, other engines do not work on the track. What a bummer!! My son won't be too happy. i think the "take along" sets have other engines you can add . Wish i knew before i bought this.

The box says it comes with "puffing smoke". I would say to Mom, Real estate Agent & wife, try a different bottle of smoke. The engine has to get warm in order for the smoke to work.

This set comes with a wired in remote dial which controls the speed of the train. It's a wonderful set. It also blows steam out of smokestack. There is also a railroad crossing that raises and lowers as the train goes through that can be purchased separately. I purchased this train set to go around the Christmas tree and my boy still plays with it.

Kidkraft made the train. That is were my instructions came from. I would try that company.

A friend of mine and I have this train. He actually had it first, and I bought it after because I like it so much. I am in the same situation as you. He says he buys extra track from a reseller, and will be sending me his information today. I will post the answer shortly.

There was a red tag inclosed with mine. However, it appears to give just general "care tips". Says to dust regularly with a lightly moistened cloth sprayed with a fine furniture polish. I just set mine up last week and just have wiped with a damp cloth for now. I would say to be on the safe side go to their website www.coasterfurniture.com and possibly contact them.

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

This train is battery powered, the switch is the smoke stack. It rotates once for engine power, two clicks to make it smoke as well. It uses 3 in 1 oil to produce smoke. Hope this helps!

There is a small heating element that vaporizes the oil. The train has to be run for a little while before the heating element get's hot enough to vaporize the oil. If after 10 minutes of operation you still don't see puffs of smoke then the smoke unit may be defective and you will need to reach out to Lionel tech support .

There should be an electrical box that attaches to the tracks, that connects to the control box, the control box cord plugs into the wall. If that is missing, maybe a hobby-train shop would sell something like it? Hopefully you can get it working because it really is a cool train.
