Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your locomotive lead a long and
productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit
(no. 6-62927), available from your Lionel
dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never
over-lubricate (a small amount will do), and
avoid getting grease or oil on the locomo-
tive’s wheels or your track. You’ll know your
locomotive requires lubrication when visual
inspection reveals dryness on the parts indi-
cated in Figure 7. Remove accumulated dirt
and dust before lubricating, and always
lubricate any locomotive emerging from pro-
longed storage.
