OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

  In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that 
the chassis  be lubricated before operation.  Lubrication should include all
truck block bushings and pickup rollers to prevent them from squeaking.
Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L" in Fig. 
1 below.  

 

 Periodically, check the locomotive wheels and pickups for dirt buildup as
this can significantly affect the engine’s ability to perform properly.  Dirty
track and dirty wheels can cause both poor electrical contact as well as poor 
traction, especially on elevated track sections.  

HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT 

  The  NW-2 Calf  locomotive contains one bayonet 18v headlight bulb that
is controlled by the track voltage.  The headlight bulb simply plugs into its
lamp socket and can be easily removed should the bulbs expire.  To remove
the bulbs, remove the cab by unscrewing the body mount screws as shown
in Figure 1.  Once the cab has been removed from the chassis, gently twist
and push the bulb to unlock it from its lamp housing.  Once unlocked, the
bulb will pull out of the socket.  Replacement bulbs are available directly
from MTH Electric Trains.
