Replacing the traction tires
Y
our powered locomotive is equipped with four traction tires. These rubber tires increase
the tractive effort of your locomotive, allowing it to pull more cars at once. During the
course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. Because you must
remove the trucks and the side frames to access the wheels, we recommend that you have the
traction tires replaced by your authorized Lionel Service Center.
