Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Replacing your locomotive’s LEDs
Y
our locomotive is illuminated by two LED
circuit boards. During the course of
normal operations, they may require
replacement.
We recommend that you have the LED
replacement done at an authorized Lionel
Service Center. See the Lionel Service section
on page 20 for more information.
Replacing the traction tires
Y
our locomotive is equipped with four
traction tires. These rubber tires
increase the tractive effort of your
locomotive, allowing it to pull more cars at
once. During the course of normal
operations, the traction tires may become
worn out. Because you must remove the
trucks and the side frames to access the
wheels, we recommend that you have the
traction tires replaced by your authorized
Lionel Service Center. see the Lionel Service
section on page 20 for more information.
