Y
our F3B backup light is illuminated
by a 14-volt lamp. During the course
of normal operation, it may require
replacement.
Separate the plastic body shell from the
frame by removing the front and rear
screws on the
ends of the
body. Lift the
body up, tak-
ing care not to
pull out the
wires that are
attached to
the inside of
the body shell.
The lamp
fits inside a
holder, with its
p r o n g s
plugged into a socket. Carefully pull out
the lamp and socket assembly and dis-
connect the lamp from the socket.
Replace the lamp with Lionel part no.
610-8049-300, available from your local
Lionel Authorized Service Center or Lionel
Service. (For more information, see page
12.)
Plug the replacement lamp into the
socket, then
reinsert the
assembly into
the holder. To
reinstall the
shell, line up
t h e s c r e w
holes on the
f r a m e a n d
body shell,
and reinsert
the screws.
Make sure all
of the wires
are inside the body before you tighten
the screws.
The F3B’s backup light illuminates whenever your F3 set operates in reverse
(only when your engine is at the end of a lash-up).
