Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining
it properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.
When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 12 appear dry, lubricate
your locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic
rules to keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of
lubrication and avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the
track.
