Maintaining and servicing your vehicle
Lubricating your vehicle
H
elp your Lionel vehicle lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no. 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 vehicle's wheels or your track. You'll know
your vehicle requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the parts indicated in
Figure 2 below. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always lubricate any
vehicle emerging from prolonged storage.
