Tech lady even explained on the phone how to do it but she also explained that because the engine is plastic it doesnt get too hot by design running nearly full speed may be the only way to see smoke

I used the 2 station structures but they will come apart without a bit of glue

The set could have come with at least 2 more straight tracks for a better running experience but it is a starter set
