amount of oil again. Also check locomotive wheels for dirt build up
that can cause performance problems. Such dirt build up can interfere
with electrical contacts, reduce traction (especially on elevated track
sections), and cause neprene traction tires to wear out prematurely.
Grease
Your locomotive's internal
gearing has been greased at the
factory an should not need
additional grease until you have
run the locomotive for over 50
hours or owned it for a year,
whichever comes first.
Add grease by inserting it into
the gear box inside the
locomotive chassis. To reach
the gear box, remove the cab
from the chassis by unscrewing
the four chassis screws as
indicated in Figure 13 on page
11. Once you have removed the cab, remove the truck mounting
screws holding the truck to the motor. After removing this motor
mount screw, lift the motor away from the truck and use a grease tube
dispenser to coat the bronze drive gear inside the truck and the motor
worm gear on the motor. Reinsert the motor down into the truck and
reinstall the motor mount screws. Then fit the cab back in place and
reinsert the four chassis screws.
Locomotive Lamp Replacement
Your locomotive and
Superliner cars may
occasionally burn out their
headlights and/or interior
lights. Should this occur, you
will need to remove the body
from the chassis in order to
replace the burned out bulb.
