Traction Tire Replacement Instructions
Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on each
powered truck block. While these tires are extremely durable, you may need to

lubrication procedures on pg. 12 at this time, as you will already have the
engine apart.
To replace the traction tires, first you must remove the truck sides:
