Operating and servicing your set
LUBRICATING yOUR LOCOMOTIVE
Help your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication
and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer or service station.
When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 4 appear dry, lubricate your
locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to keep
in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid
getting grease or oil on your locomotive's wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
Lubricate with Lionel grease
Lubricate with Lionel oil sparingly
