Tire-Traction
Y
our locomotive is equipped with Tire-Traction. This means that two of the drive wheels are fit-
ted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your locomotive can pull many cars
at once.
Lionel locomotives with Tire-Traction grip the track, enabling them to pull heavy loads at
higher speeds.
To replace the traction tires, simply unscrew the drive rod nut from the wheel and slip off the old
traction tire and remove it from under the drive rod. Place the new one on the wheel in the reverse
of this step and tighten the drive rod nut.
