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 10 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.
