Replacing Your Locomotive's Traction Tire - Lionel Yukon Special Owner's Manual

Maintaining and servicing your set

Replacing your locomotive's traction tire

Y our locomotive is equipped with four traction tires. These rubber tires increase the tractive
effort of your locomotive, allowing it to pull more cars at once. During the course of nor-
mal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. Because you must remove the trucks
and the side frames to access the wheels, we recommend that you have the traction tires
replaced by your authorized Lionel Service Center.
