Aristo U-25 Help

I got a good deal on an Aristo PRR U-25, but it came without instructions.
Can anyone tell me how/where the Smoke is turned on/off?

Instructions for the Aristo-Craft PRR U-25B (ART-22100 Series) diesel locomotive can be found in the installation/assembly guide available on the
Lendons Of Cardiff website.

Thank you everyone. Interestingly, the instruction manual does NOT tell you where the 3 switches are located or how to open the door.
I am headed down to the basement with a hammer and chisel to figure that out.

The best thing about the U-25B is that with it’s long wheel base, it can be converted into an articulated, drywall screen track cleaner and the modified drywall sander will follow the track through the curves.

And the interior has plenty of space for batteries to get the track to the point where the pick-ups work before switching back to track power.
