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.

our locomotive is equipped with traction tires (Lionel part no. 6208815206) to increase the

tractive effort of your locomotive and allow it to pull more cars at once.

During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To

replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and

lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.

Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws.

our locomotive includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the main drive motor

and smoke system. If a problem is detected, the locomotive's cab light will blink a diagnostic

code.

If you see the light inside the cab flashing, press RESET (for LEGACY operation), 0 (for

TMCC operation), or DIRECTION/power interruption (for conventional operation to attempt

to clear the problem. The locomotive will immediately check itself again. If the problem

persists, the cab light will blink the code again.

Note that smoke-related errors can be reset a maximum of three times. On the third try,

if the problem still persists, the smoke unit will be shut down and must be returned to Lionel

Service for repair.
