RailKing 2-6-0 Train Set Operating Manual
RAILKING
Check the locomotive oiling points periodically to be sure they are
moving freely and quietly. If they are not, apply small amount of oil
again. Also check locomotive wheels for dirt build up that can cause
performance problems. Such dirt build up can interfere with electrical
contacts, reduce traction (especially on elevated track sections), and
cause neprene traction tires to wear out prematurely.
Grease
Grease may be added to the external drive gears in lieu of oil. To add
grease simply apply liberally using a small screwdriver or toothpick to
the gear teeth. Take care to rotate the gear by gently spinning the
locomotive drive wheels so that all gear teeth can be greased.
Lamp Replacement
Your locomotive and caboose car may occasionally burn out their
headlights and/or interior lights. Should this occur, you will need to
remove the body from the chassis in order to replace the burned out
bulb.
To remove the 2-6-0 locomotive cab from its chassis, follow the body
removal instructions on the previous pages. Once the body has been
removed, rotate the headlight bulb counter-clockwise as seen in Figure
to remove the burned out
bulb.
