Maintaining your locomotive
Lubricating your steam locomotive
H
elp your Lionel steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintain-
ing it properly. We recommend 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-lubri-
cate (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 steam locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness
on the parts indicated in the illustration. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and
always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage. Also, lightly lubricate the steam
locomotive's side rods after each 10 hours of operation.
Do not lubricate your locomotive's electric motor.. It has been pretested and all the necessary
moving parts have been sufficiently lubricated for life at the factory and should run smoothly for
many years to come. If you have any difficulty in the operation of your engine see the Warranty and
service section at the end of the instruction sheet for more information.
