groove can cause the engine to wobble. A razor blade can be used to trim
away any excess tire that doesn’t seat itself inside the groove properly.
Once the new tire(s) are in place, reassemble the truck sides to the truck
blocks and then reassemble the chassis to the body. Replacement tires are
available directly from MTH Electric Trains.
HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT (2 and 3-Rail)
The locomotive’s headlights are controlled by constant voltage circuits
inside the locomotive body. The headlight(s) can be easily removed from
their lampholders should the bulbs expire. To remove the bulb, follow the
body removal instructions found in the Lubrication section on the proceeding
pages. Once the cab has been separated from the chassis, gently unplug the
bulb’s wiring harness from the socket on the constant voltage circuit.
Replacement bulbs are available directly from MTH Electric Trains.
