Maintaining and servicing your B40-8
Replacing your B40-8’s lamps
Y
our B40-8 is illuminated by two
14-volt lamps. During the course of
normal operation, they may require
replacement.
Begin by removing the
B40-8’s shell; see the previ-
ous section on armature
lubrication for detailed shell
removal information.
Carefully lift the shell away
from the frame. Take care
with the various wiring
assemblies connected to
the shell.
Locate the assembly
containing the expired
lamp. It’s held in position by
a retaining clip; carefully
remove the target lamp
assembly from the retaining
clip, then gently pull the
expired lamp from the sock-
et. Replace it with Lionel
part no. 10-8049-300, available from your
authorized Lionel Service Center or Lionel
Service. See the Lionel Service section on
page 18for more information.
Reinstall the shell.
Your Lionel B40-8 is
equipped with oscillating
ditch lights. These small
bulbs (Lionel part no.
10-8216-009) are located in
the pilot. Also in the roof of
the cab is a strobe light bulb
(Lionel part no.10-8803-009).
During the course of normal
operation they may require
replacement. We recom
-
mend that you have your
local Authorized Lionel
Service Center perform this
service.
Remove the B40-8’s shell, pull
the lamp assembly from its
retaining clip, and replace the
expired lamp.
Note!

sure headlamp was not
