CARE OF YOUR LOC0MOTIVE 

 

 

Proper lubrication is most important, but must not be overdone. 

 

Care  should  be  taken  when  removing  the  loco  from  its  packaging,  as  any  levering  action  using  projecting 
parts (e.g. buffers) may result in damage. 

 

Check  with  your  dealer  that  these  locomotives  wheel  standards  are  compatible  with  your  track  system. 
Ensure that your track is in good condition and well maintained. 

 

Keep the engine free of dust and dirt. Debris such as earth and gravel in the motion will lead to premature 
wear and failure. 

 

Always use steam oil in the lubricator, never ordinary household oil. 

 

Never light the burner without water in the boiler. 

 

Always control the gas correctly and do not have the fire too high so it goes into the smoke box and damages 
materials, paint, or wheel insulation.
