our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs that are expected to last for the life of the
locomotive. The LED’s are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that
you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station.

If the locomotive is powered up and the lights are not on, check that the
AUX2
command was not used to turn the lamps off.
Note!

our locomotive is equipped with traction
tires. This means that two of the drive
wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to
enhance tractive effort so your locomotive can
pull many cars at once.
Lionel has provided extra traction tires
to replace the installed traction tires if they
ever wear out. The traction tires are replaced
by unscrewing the drive rod screws using the
supplied wrench. See Figure 12. Slip off the
old traction tire and remove it from under the
drive rod. Place the new traction tire on the
wheel and re-tighten the drive rod screw.

hen you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 11 appear dry, lubricate
your coach car after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. It is recom-
mended that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available
from your authorized Lionel dealer. There are two basic rules to keep in mind when you are
lubricating your coach car: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid getting grease or
oil on your coach’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
