H
elp your Lionel B40-8 lead a long and
productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no.
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 B40-8’s wheels or
your track. You’ll know your B40-8
requires lubrication when visual inspec-
tion reveals dryness on the parts indicat-
ed in the illustration. Remove accumu-
lated dirt and dust before lubricating,
and always lubricate any loco-
motive emerging from pro-
longed storage.
