our locomotive’s headlight is illuminated by one lamp. During the course of normal 
operations, the lamp may require replacement. 

Removing the body screws and linkage will allow access to the interior of the locomotive 

and the expired lamp. However, due to the complexity involved, it is recommended that 
a Lionel Service Station erform this service, if required. Lionel part no. 40-8047-300 are 
available from your authorized Lionel Service Center. (See the Lionel Service section on page 
12 for more information.)

Replacing your locomotive’s lamp

Maintaining your locomotive

Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke stack

Y

our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white 
smoke during operation.

The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to 

function. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with the locomotive. Press down and 
unscrew the cap, then pierce the end of the nozzle with a pin. Add four to eight drops of fluid 
directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production will commence momentarily, faster if 
you run your locomotive at speed. When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (four to 
eight drops). 

If you prefer 

smoke-free

 locomotive operation, move the SMOKE switch located inside the cab 

to the OFF position, and your locomotive will stop smoking. Refer to Figure 2 on page 4 for the 
location of the switches.

When the smoke unit is on, 

always

 

keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke 

generator; the generator’s element can become damaged if operated without fluid. Smoke production 
is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load or long consist. 

Always keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the smoke unit when the smoke 
unit is on.

Caution!
