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 roll-
ers, or your track.
You'll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated in Figure 11. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always lubri-
cate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
