Replacing your powered/non-powered F3A unit’s lamps
Y
our F3A units are both illuminated by
two 14-volt lamps. One illuminates the
headlamp and the other illuminates the cab
interior. During the course of normal opera-
tion, they may require replacement.
Start by separating the plastic body shell
from the frame; remove the front screw on
the underside of the frame and lift the body
up slightly, pulling it forward to release the
two rear clips from the frame slots.
Each lamp rests in a holder, with its
prongs plugged into a
socket. Carefully pull the
bulb straight up out of
the holder to remove it.
Replace the expired lamp with Lionel part
no. 610-8049-300, available from your local
Lionel Authorized Service Center or Lionel
Service. (For more information, see Lionel
Service on page 21.)
Insert the replacement lamp’s prongs into
the socket, making sure of a tight connec-
tion. To reinstall the shell, first insert the
rear tabs on the body into the slots on the
frame. Line up the screw holes on the frame
and body shell, and reinsert the screw. Make
sure all of the wires are inside the body
before you tighten the screw.
Make sure to insert the rear tabs on the body into the slots on the
frame before inserting the front screw.
