lionel part numbers

[Steve Wise <swise@aoot.com>]

Hey tinplaters,

Is there anywhere that I can find which part numbers apply to a given 
Lionel engine? I've pulled all their supplement PDFs from their web site 
and don't see anything on my specific engine other than a wiring 
diagram. I also pulled down their price list and they have umpteen smoke 
units ranging from $10 to over $30. Its not clear which one
applies to my engine. I called one authorized service place in dallas 
and really couldn't help me (they just said send it in and we'll fix it).

What I'm trying to do is get an estimate for replacing a fan-driven 
smoke unit in a 2-8-8-4 engine (6-28051). It appears to be not blowing 
smoke. Anyway I just need an estimate for buying a new smoke unit and 
installing it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve.
