Hi!
I have a few older HO scale model locos both Bachmann, and some other brands.   I'd like to install dcc with sound in all my locos and have the EZ Command control to run them. Will Digitraxx dcc with sound work with the EZ Comman d Control module?  If not, what brand does?  I've been googling this question but not getting a straight answer.

Thanks!!!

The smoke units on these can be finicky.  Let's assume for the moment yours is not broken.

Don't put more than 4 drops of fluid.  If you overfill the reservoir, the coil can't produce enough heat to create smoke.

These locos have to be running pretty fast to get enough voltage to make heat to create smoke.  Although, the DCC equipped 0-6-0s have an easier time making smoke.

I have several of these locos. I took the smoke units out and filled the space with weight.  Smoke units are messy. The deposits get on your loco, cars, track, and so on. 

If you manage to get yours to work, you'll also melt the smoke stack over time.

Well, unfortunately I'm not doing a layout at this time. Just have the ring round the tree.   If I only run this engine at low will I still risk the stack melting? 

Hello

Just purchased a Bachmann 0-6-0 Soo Lne with smoke.  I've been running it for quite some time after adding the smoke oil and I'm getting nothing.   Am I doing something wrong?  I was so excited about this engine, not smoking is a bit of a let down.
