Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set
Lubricating your locomotive set
H
elp your Lionel locomotive set lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining
it properly. To keep your locomotive set lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.
When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 5, 6, and 7 appear dry, lubricate
your locomotive set after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic
rules to keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive set: use only a small amount of
lubrication and avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive set’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the
track.
