Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Tire-Traction

our locomotive is equipped with traction tires. This means that four of the drive

wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your

locomotive can pull many cars at once.

Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they

ever wear out. The traction tires are replaced by unscrewing the drive rod screws

using the supplied wrench. Slip off the old traction tire and remove it from under the

drive rod. Place the new traction tire (Lionel part no. 600-0222-108) on the wheel and

re-tighten the drive rod screw.

Figure 11. Replacing traction tires

ome models are equipped with smoke

deflectors. To remove the smoke

deflectors, use a Philips screw driver to

remove the two screws that secure the

smoke deflectors to the running boards.

See Figure 12. Be careful to avoid

scratching the locomotive's paint.
