our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs that are expected to last for the life of the

locomotive. The LED's are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that

you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station.

our locomotive is equipped with traction tires (Lionel part no. 6208815206) to increase the

tractive effort of your locomotive and allow it to pull more cars at once.

During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To

replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and

lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.

Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws.

our locomotive is equipped with functional ditch lights on the front of the locomotive.

There are four operational states for the ditch lights: ditch lights on with oscillation when

the horn sounds, ditch lights on with no oscillation when the horn sounds, ditch lights off

with oscillation when the horn sounds, and ditch lights off with no oscillation when the horn

sounds.

In the LEGACY environment, you may use the Light On and Light Off buttons to change the

operational state of the ditch lights. These buttons are identified in Figures 9 and 10 below.

For Conventional transformer operation, the ditch lights function automatically,

oscillating when the horn sounds.
