We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over- lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels or your track.
Replacement lamps are available from your authorized Lionel Service Center or from Lionel Service. The headlight is illuminated by Lionel lamp no. 640-8034-330. The cab end reverse light is illuminated by Lionel lamp no.
Lionel L.L.C. or an authorized Lionel L.L.C. Service Center, together with proof of original purchase will, at the option of Lionel L.L.C., be repaired or replaced, without charge for parts or labor. In the event the defective product cannot be repaired, and a replacement is not available, a refund of the original purchase price will be granted.
