Coupling
A
fter you have assembled the track, place
the locomotive and rolling stock on the
track. Before coupling the cars, make sure
the wheels are properly set on the rails.
When coupling your cars, at least one of
the mating couplers must be open as shown
below at the left. Now simply push the cars
toward each other until they lock together.
Now you’re ready to pull out of the sta-
tion.
All aboard!
Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.
Push down the
lock release to
open the coupler.
Tire-Traction™
Y
our locomotive is equipped with Tire-
Traction. This means that two of the
engine drive wheels on the motor truck are
fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance
tractive effort so your locomotive can pull
many cars at once.
Lionel locomotives with Tire-Traction grip
the track, enabling them to pull heavy loads
at higher speeds.
Should it become necessary to replace the
traction tire (part number 600-0222-108),
we recommend you take your GP-9 to an
authorized Lionel service center.
