Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining
it properly. To keep your locomotive 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 appear dry, lubricate your
locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to
keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication
and avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
