Maintaining and servicing your set
Replacing the traction tires
Y
our powered locomotive is equipped with traction tires to increase the tractive effort of your
locomotive set and allow it to pull more cars at once.
During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. We
recommend that you have the traction tires replaced by an authorized Lionel Service Center
because the truck and side frames must be removed to access the wheels. See the Lionel Service
section on page 28 for more information.
