Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Tire-Traction
Y
our locomotive is equipped with traction tires. This means that four of the drive
wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your
locomotive can pull many cars at once.
Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they
ever wear out. The traction tires are replaced by unscrewing the drive rod screws
using the supplied wrench. Slip off the old traction tire and remove it from under the
drive rod. Place the new traction tire (Lionel part # 600-0222-108) on the wheel and
re-tighten the drive rod screw.
