Lubrication

Fig.1
IMPORTANT – Only apply small single drops of light machine oil to the places indicated in red in Fig.2. This is best achieved by making a simple oil ‘dropper’ as illustrated in Fig.1. Insert a straightened paper clip into a cork and use a bottle
cap as a container for the oil. A small drop of oil can then be picked up by the dropper and applied in exactly the right place. Immediately wipe off any excess oil, especially from the locomotive body. Only lubricate moving parts.

Removal

Unclip the body sides from the chassis
(Fig.3), making sure all the lugs are free
from the holes in the body as indicated in
red in Fig.4. The body will lift off easily
(Fig.4).
Some Hornby locomotives are fitted with operating
pantographs for use with the Hornby Overhead Power
Supply System. In these locomotives, power can be either
obtained from the overhead catenary wire or from the
track in the normal way.
To operate a locomotive from the overhead supply, raise
the pantograph and slide the roof power selector switch
towards the pantograph (Fig 5a).
To run a locomotive with an operating pantograph on a
layout without an overhead supply system, slide the
selector switch away from the pantograph and leave
pantograph in its lowered position (Fig 5b).
It is important to follow carefully, the instructions
sup-plied with the Overhead Power Supply System
products, particularly with regard to catenary wire height.
