Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Replacing your locomotive’s traction tires
T
wo of the locomotive’s drive wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort,
allowing your locomotive to pull many cars at once.
To replace the traction tire, simply unscrew the drive rod screw from the wheel using a 3/16” nut
driver. Remove the old traction tire from under the drive rod and slip on the replacement, Lionel part
no. 6308661206. Replace the spacer, retighten the drive rod screw, and you’r e ready to pull that long
freight back to the yard.
Replacing your locomotive’s headlamp
Y
our locomotive is illuminated by several small lamps. During the course of normal opera-
tions, they may require replacement.
We recommend that you have the lamp replacement done at an authorized Lionel Service Center.
See the
Instructions for Obtaining Service
section on page 12 for more information.
