Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Replacing your locomotive's LEDs and lamps
Y
our locomotive is illuminated by several LED circuit boards and lamps. During the course of
normal operations, the lamps may require replacement. The LEDs are expected to last for the
life of the locomotive.
Because of the delicate operations required, we recommend that you have the lamp
replacement done at an authorized Lionel Service Center. See the Lionel Service section on
page 12 for more information.
Replacing the traction tires
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
normal 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. See the Lionel Service section on page 12
for more information.
