Lionel Trains The Polar Express O Gauge Train Set Questions & Answers
The train keeps jumping off the track
Is the track properly and carefully put together? Is one or more sections damaged take one of the cars and gently push it around watching in those places where the train derails. If it only happens at a track joint look at it more carefully.
Forward and reverse switch
Are you using the transformer that came with the train set? This has forward, reverse, and neutral available?
How the power is transfered
the power from the wall outlet is ( transformed) to 17voilts AC and comes out on posts on the transformer that red and black wires then are connected to the track The rails on the track are entergized and the wheels and the center pickup ride on the track and transfer the power ot the locomotive. the center rail is common and the outside rail is motor power or whisle power.
Can't figure out how to make the bell work and
I looked on the internet for a co that sold you toy and in the replacement parts is the instructions clicked on it tand I could read them. To make it smoke put the drops of smoke fluild in the smoke stack and turn on the switch that's in the cab of the locomotive. to make the whisle blow pust the center button on the dash board of the transformer. Theirs a right button that says whisle but your train is'nt supposed to have one. the left hand button stops the trainand as you push it again it'll go into neural and then again it'll back up. again neurtral and agin it'll go forward if you turn the other switch in the cab it'll go forward only.
Lionel 313 bascule bridge
It sounds like the counterbalance spring is loose or disconnected. I would rather add weight to the counterweight box to take some load off of the motor...Use fishing sinkers, one or two rolls of pennies or equivalent. Also do not overtighten the spring you will warp the base of the bridge.
I just got a postwar

What is sketching?
Artists often sketch out their thoughts for a painting
before actually painting it. Sketch sets have paper, pencils, colors and other
items such as pastels, and charcoal that one would need for sketching purposes.
A sketch is the first step you need to do before you start painting.
How do I remove air bubbles from resin artwork?
I often get asked the question, "How do I remove air bubbles from epoxy resin artwork?" If you've ever seen blisters or bubbles in your epoxy resin artwork, then you're not alone. It happens to the best of us. These air bubbles are caused by trapped air. There's two ways to get rid of that pesky air: 1. Gently push the bubble to coax it out 2. Pop the bubble The best method for removing air bubbles is to use a Dremel or drill bit (which is what I use). It makes easy work of pushing the air out and makes perfect round holes as well. Now when time comes for casting resin, don't forget your hole!
