Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set

Replacing your locomotive set’s LEDs and lamps

Y

our locomotive set is illuminated by several LEDs and lamps. While the LEDs are expected
to last for the life of the locomotive set, you may find that the lamps may require

replacement.

We recommend that you have the lamps serviced at an authorized Lionel Service Center. See

the Lionel Service section on page 28 for more information.

Replacing the traction tires

E

ach locomotive is equipped with traction tires to increase the tractive effort of your
locomotive set and allow it to pull more cars at once.

During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. We

recommend that you have the traction tires replaced by an authorized Lionel Service Center
because the truck and side frames must be removed to access the wheels. See the Lionel Service
section on page 28 for more information.
