RIBBED ALUMINUM STREAMLINED PASSENGER CAR MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for purchasing the RailKing Ribbed Aluminum Streamlined Passenger Set. The cars’s extruded aluminum body and stamped metal trucks are traditionally sized for operation on any O-31 Gauge track. The unit should operate for years with any AC transformer and is completely compatible with most 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. BASIC OPERATION & MAINTENANCE The RailKing Ribbed Aluminum Streamlined Cars are easy to operate and feature mechanical operating couplers for realistic uncoupling operation and lighted interiors. Before operation, the pickup rollers and axles (where they meet the bronze bushings) should be lubricated with light household oil to ensure smooth, consistent electrical contact with a minimum of light flickering inside the car. Should the lights flicker during operation, the likely cause is insufficient lubrication on the pickup rollers. To lubricate, simply place a drop or two of light household oil on either side of the pickup bracket where the pickup roller is attached. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF PASSENGER CAR’S GOLD PLATED FINISH Routine maintenance of the gold plated finish requires only that the surfaces be wiped from time to time with a water-dampened, lint free cloth. This will keep these superb models of the Ribbed Aluminum Streamlined Passenger Cars in top show room condition. HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT Occasionally, the lights inside the car may need to be replaced. To replace the lamps follow the disassembly instructions on the following illustrations. Replacement lamps can be obtained directly through MTH Electric Trains, 7020 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia, MD 21046-1532.
