Lubricating your Inspection Vehicle

H

elp your Lionel Inspection Vehicle lead a long and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly. 

We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (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 Inspection Vehicle’s wheels 

or

your track. You’ll know your Inspection Vehicle requires lubrication when visual inspection
reveals dryness on the parts indicated in Figure 2. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
