Marklin 72270 Smoke Installation in Marklin 39640 locomotive

Marklin 72270 Smoke Installation in the Marklin 39640 locomotive. We hope that this video shows you that it is a fairly easy process. A little time, patience and caution is all you need (and a small screwdriver, Marklin has a great toolset 70900 for this).

how do i know if you can put one in?

Look in the instruction manual. If you do not have it, check the smoke stack. If there is an opening, take the shell off, and see if there is a metal (typically copper) tab underneath the smoke stack, with a wire going to it. This is your smoke contact. The 7226 is used for wider smokestacks (almost 1/4 inch). Narrower stacks (about (1/8 inch) need the 72270.

are all the smoke units the same? I have a few Marklin Steamers and have been thinking about doing this. I have 37039 which calls for 72270, 37184 = Seuthe Nr. 24, 37453 = 7226, and 37050 = 7226 are these all the same of different? Plus the smoke fluid has different numbers in the manuels? Is it all the same? Please contact me about this. I don't have a local Marklin dealer that knows anything? I am using the internet to learn about this hobby.

In most cases, Marklin uses two sizes of smoke units.

The 72270 (as used in this video) has a narrow tube, and has to be fitted from inside the shell, since the bottom portion is thicker.

The 7226 is a wider unit, and installation is much easier, since you can simply push it into the smokestack from above (no need to open the locomotive).

They all use the same fluid. Sold by us as Marklin 07420, and in a bigger bottle as 0911 (made by Seuthe). You can check our website at ajckids.com

Thank you, a very clear and helpful video. I have a 7226 unit on the way with my first steam lok and its nice to see this done. The 7226 possible fits differently (maybe a drop in).

Yes, the 7226 smoke generator is easier to install! You can push it into the smoke stack from the top, so you do not have to open the locomotive. When you install it, just watch the tiny little contact on the bottom. In most cases, you want it to point to the front of the locomotive when you install it.

The 7226 is used for wider smokestacks. Narrower stacks need the 72270. Consult the instruction booklet of the locomotive to see which type you need.

can i do this with a Märklin T5 ( Nr. 3412 ) ?

Hello, how do you start the smoke on the digital models. I bought a train 22801 new york central, and the smoke generator but I does not smoke....Do you have to enable it using a DCC function???

[stefant4]

hahahaha these darn handrails... always lost at least 1 when i opened mine...

[ajckids]

There is a tiny short wire sticking out of the bottom, it is designed to touch the contact inside the locomotive. Similar smoke generators are available with regular wires, so that you can wire them in retrofit applications.
