Traction Tire Replacement Instructions
Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on each
powered truck block. While these tires are extremely durable, you may need to
replace them at some point.
Replace the tires on only one end of the engine at a time.
To disassemble:
1. Remove the screws from the chassis, as seen in Figure 3 on page 10, then
lift the body away from the chassis.
2. After removing the body shell, turn your engine upside down and remove
the two Phillips screws holding the pick-up roller to its truck. Lift pick-up
roller and unplug the wire.
3. Remove the single flathead screw in the adjacent pilot/trailing truck.
4. Remove the single Phillips screw that was hidden by the pick-up roller
before you removed it. Lift off the truck block and turn it over.
5. Remove the four Phillips screws from the truck block and pull apart.
