Maintaining and servicing your set

Lubricating your locomotive

H
elp your steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
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.
You'll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated in Figure 8 and also on the tender's axles. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
