RAILKING

Next, remove the power truck block from the chassis by unscrewing the

large Phillips motor mount screw on the bottom of the power truck (See Fig.

5). Once the motor mount screw has been removed, pull the motor away

from the truck block and lightly coat the motor worm gear and bronze drive

gear (in the truck block) with grease. Reassemble the truck and motor,

being careful not to pinch the pickup and ground wires between the truck

block and motor mount. When reassembling the chassis and body, be very

careful that the lighting wire harnesses are not caught between the body and

chassis as this can lead to a short which may damage the electronic circuit

boards beyond repair.

Periodically, check the locomotive wheels and pickups for dirt buildup as

this can significantly affect the engine’s ability to perform properly. Dirty

track and dirty wheels can cause both poor electrical contact as well as poor

traction, especially on elevated track sections. Finally, dirt and oil build up

can prematurely wear out the neoprene traction tires.

TRACTION TIRE REPLACEMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

Your Subway powered car is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction

tires on the power truck. While these tires are extremely durable and long-

lasting there may arise a time where they will need to be replaced. Should

this occur, you will need to remove the power truck from the chassis in

order to slip the new tire over the grooved drive wheel. We suggest you

follow the disassembly instructions found in the Lubrication section on the

preceding pages to dissemble the chassis and truck blocks from the body.
