H

elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long
and productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly.

We recommend you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part
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
locomotive wheels, contact rollers,
or your track.

You’ll know your 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
locomotive side rods, drive rods,

linkage, front and rear truck pivot
points, and tender wheel bearings

after each 25 hours of operation.
