H
elp your Lionel locomotive set lead a
long and productive life on your
railroad by maintaining it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a
Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit
(6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer.
Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-
lubricate (a small amount will do), and
avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive
set’s wheels or your track. You’ll know your
locomotive set requires lubrication when
visual inspection reveals dryness on the parts
indicated in Figures 5 and 6. Remove
accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating,
and always lubricate any locomotive
emerging from prolonged storage.
