Locomotive operations Uncoupling your locomotive ionel magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control Track section (available separately, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; or 6-65530 for O gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts). As illustrated in Figure 2, place your locomotive’s coupler trigger disc over the central coil of a Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the controller.
HORN/WHISTLE button on your controller to sound the locomotive's horn. If your controller does not have a HORN/WHISTLE button, install a Lionel Sound Activation Button (available separately, part no. 610-5906-001). Connect the button as shown in Figure 3.
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, contact rollers, or your track.
Replacing your locomotive’s lamps our locomotive is illuminated by several small lamps. During the course of normal operations, you may find that the lamps require replacement. We recommend that you have the lamps serviced at an authorized Lionel Service Center.
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.
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.
