Lionel Fastrack O36 Manual Right Hand Switch 612018 Questions & Answers
I accidentially broke the signal flags off my sons
My son broke his off as well. We had just added the outer loop expansion pack and it was broken within 10 minutes. I found the replacement part on the Lionel website after much difficulty. I plan to buy a replacement to use one day when we have a more permanent track layout. I removed the flag from the other switch for safe keeping while he continues to play with it on the carpet. This is very poor design by Lionel. I think they should include a replacement part with the switch, or at least provide instructions in the manual for ordering a new part. I have wasted several hours today instead of enjoying the train with my son.

I have a problem with
I have had the same problem with FasTrack remotes. I noticed a lot of car wheel sparking on the outter rail which is V shaped with the turning entry part of the switch. I put electrical tape oven the approximately 1 1/2 inch part of the switch on the straight away. Problem solved. The problem has a lot to do with where the center pickup roller is relative to the wheels (common side of power).
On another note:
Also found that a problem with the common side connections using the 1.75 and 1.375" fillers. For some odd reason, Lionel quality control??????. The pin to rail connection is loose on all my fillers. I finally, after getting disgusted, removed all 18 fillers and wired (flow soldered) the connections from the pin dot point to the rail foldovers. Virtually all my electrical problems were solved. I also noted that in some cases, especially the 30" rails, the crossover strap is only crimped down. I advise putting a solder blob on all crossover straps in your setup. This will help when there there is a bad common connection in one or more points in the layout.
I have suffered beyond belief using the FasTrack remote switches. The extremes of poor quality control are evident in these Lionel products. I now have two that have intermittent control indicator lights. It is not worth the effort, they are still under warantee, to remove these switches and send to repair. The first repair resulted in a switch I simply threw away.

You will need to check continuity of the yellow RSC wire from inside the controller to where it enters the switch connection block. Neither light will work if this wire is broken.
2nd: Lionel quality control is so poor that if that is not the problem, remove the plate from the bottom and make sure the five plugs are firmly in place on the electronic board. Since both green and red do not work it is most likely not the micro switchs but an issue with the circuit board.

This is a common problem with FasTrack Remotes and Manual switches. It is relative to where the center roller pickup is in relation to the wheels (common connection to outter track rails). Solution is to put electrical tape on the outter rail that forms a V between the turn in and the straight away. This elliminates about 1.5" of track discontinuity. It also eliminates wheel sparking that pits the surface of the outter rail. Wish I had a better solution short of taking the switch apart and doing some rewiring.
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

Constraints about making a Jaws of Life model with cardboard, split pins, syringes and plastic tubing.
Question edited for clarity, otherwise this question makes no sense. I presume you mean a MODEL of the Jaws of Life.
Large capacity syringe powering a small capacity syringe with give a significant pressure advantage. The only issue I can think of is the the friction of the secondary piston may be too sticky on the wall of the smaller syringe but if you fill the system with water, you will get true hydraulic results because air can be compressed but water can't
