Replacing the Operating Radar Car’s lamp
Y
our Operating Radar Car is illuminated by a small lamp, Lionel part no. 600-2314-300.
During the course of normal operations, this lamp may require replacement. Replacement
lamps are available at your authorized Lionel Service Center or from Lionel Service in
Chesterfield, MI.
1. Lift the rotating radar antenna off the car.
2. Remove the body screw from the bottom of the car. As illustrated in Figure 16, this screw is
located in the center of the car, closest to the
truck with a roller pick-up.
You will find a corresponding screw near
the gears that rotate the radar antenna.
It is not necessary to remove this screw.
3. Carefully remove the body by locating the four
tabs that secure the body to the flatcar and
gently bending them inward.
4. Remove the expired lamp, turning it counter-
clockwise.
5. Replace the lamp, then reassemble the car,
following these steps in reverse order.
Maintaining your Operating Radar Car
B
e sure to grease the gears that turn the rotating radar antenna when they appear dry. We
recommend that you purchase the Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (available
separately, 6-62927). Apply grease to the points illustrated in Figure 17. Be sure that the grease
does not get on the rails, wheels, or roller pick-up.
