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 replace them at some point.
First, remove the trucksides from the truck block. To do this, turn your engine
upside down. If there are visible Phillips screw heads between the truck frame
and truck block, go to step A. If not, go to step B.
A. Remove the two Phillips screws that attach the truck sides to the truck
block.
Lubricate the outside truck block idler and drive gears with grease. Use the
diagram shown in Figure 7 below as a guide and add grease to the points
marked with a “G.”
Periodically check the locomotive wheels and pickups for dirt and buildup,
which can cause poor electrical contact and traction as well as prematurely
wear out the neoprene traction tires.
