Replacing your locomotive's headlamp

Y
our locomotive lights the way with its operating headlight. During the course of normal
operations, the lamp may require replacement. Refer to Figure 11 as you replace the
lamp.
1. Remove the two front truck screws and carefully slide the front truck assembly off the link-
age rods.
2. Lift the smoke unit out far enough from the cab to allow lamp extraction.
3. Pull the lamp straight out and replace it with Lionel part no. 600-0161-300, available from
your nearest authorized Lionel Service Center or from Lionel Service. Be careful not to twist
the lamp or it may break.
4. Reinstall the smoke unit, making sure that the smoke stack lines up with the cab top opening.
5. Reassemble the front truck, making sure that the linkage rods go into the holes in the
front truck assembly. The lug wire from the smoke unit must be reinserted through the slot
in the front truck assembly and secured under one of the two front screws. Tighten the
screws firmly, but do not over-tighten them.
