Replacing Your Locomotive's Lamps - Lionel Hudson Owner's Manual

Maintaining your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive's sw
Y our locomotive is equipped with a
smoke generator that produces safe,
clean, white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic
addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. Pierce the tube end with a pin, then
add four to eight drops of fluid directly into
the locomotive's stack. Smoke production
will commence momentarily, faster if you
run your locomotive at speed. When smoke
production wanes, add more fluid (four to
eight drops).
Replacing your locomotive's lamp
Y our locomotive's headlight is illuminat-
ed by one lamp. During the course of
normal operation, the lamp may require
replacement.
Carefully remove the three cab screws (see
page 10 for their locations). Set the engine
on its side and carefully pull the front of the
frame away from the cab. Be careful you do
not bend the drawbar that connects the
engine to the tender. The replacement lamp

If you prefer smoke-free locomotive opera-
tion, there is a switch located on the bottom of
the engine under the cab (see page 4 for its
location). Move the switch to the OFF position
and your locomotive will stop smoking.
When the smoke unit is on always keep a
small amount of smoke fluid in the locomo-
tive's smoke generator; the generator's ele-
ment can become damaged if operated with-
out fluid. Smoke production is greater at
higher voltages and when the locomotive is
pulling a heavy load or long consist.
(600-2314-300) is available from your
Authorized Lionel Service Center or Lionel
Service. See the Lionel Service section on
page 12 for more information. Remove the
expired lamp by unscrewing it and install the
replacement lamp. Reinstall the cab and the
three screws taking care to not pinch any
wires during reassembly.
Check to be sure the smoke stack is aligned
with the smoke generator.
