uring the course of normal operations, the lamp inside your caboose may require
replacement. Follow these steps and refer to Figure 10.

1. Lift off the roof from the window shell and body. 
2. Pull out the end frame tab from the slot formed by the caboose body and roof. The end

frames are hinged at the platform to swing outward, away from the body. 

3. Remove the window shell. To remove the window shell, carefully bend the sides of the

caboose outward while pulling up on the window shell until the tabs are released from the
windows. 

4. Pull the lamp straight up and out of the socket. Replace it with Lionel lamp no. 600-8352-311,

available at your authorized Lionel Service Center or Lionel Service.

5. Lower the window shell back into the body, making sure that the tabs snap into the win-

dows. 

6. Reposition the roof above the window shell and body, fit the tabs on the end frames into

the corresponding slots in the body, and press down the roof to secure the end frame tabs.
