Bachmann James The Red Engine Train Set Questions & Answers
Bachmann power pack shows a short.
Look in the tunnel and see if there are any thin bits of metal that could be shorting it out. If it is a sectional track layout, unclip the section just before the tunnel and just after. Try this to all your sections. If there is a short, your train should work until you connect the bad piece to it then all will stop. Basically a process of elimination. Also check connections to the track to see if there is a single loose wire that may be causing the problem. Another thing is getting the power pack and connect it to a single piece of track which is not connected to the layout and try the train. It could be the train shoring it out, try the train and if it works, it's got to be the track..

GP40 style HO Diesel motor squeals when run from slow to top spd.
Use a tiny amount of light weight oil (sewing machine oil will work) on the outsides of the motor shaft,., Use a tooth pick to apply. Of cours you'll need to remove the plastic body first. Another suggestion if that doesn't take care of the noise is to place a tiny bit of vasoline on the gears that are exposed when you take the plastic boy off. While your doing that you may want to place some vasoline on the gears inside the driving truck or trucks (dual drive). Pay attention when removing the plastic bottom covers from the truck. Use a small screw driver to pry one end of that cover loose and the other becomes loose and then remove to expose the gears.

I bought bachmann spectrum 2-10-2
sounds like it's too lightweight! try running with a big blob of plasticine on top, to see of it runs right. if it then works ok you need to fill the internal spaces with lead (ask your local tyre shop for the weights they take off wheels when changing tyres)
Broken idler/reduction gear in ho power truck
Hi Jerry-
Split gears, unfortunately, often occur with plastic gears especially the older an engine gets it seems. They get brittle and crack.
I've provided a link to the Bachmann website-they offer a catalogue of parts and may have the replacement gear you require. You can also call them toll-free (the number is on the site) and provide the nice person with the model of your engine.
A little known fact is that Bachmann used to provide a lifetime guarantee on their locomotives. If the part you require is no longer made, they sometimes offer a replacement engine (new) at a substantial discount. You will have to mail in your old one. I used this service one time and received a brand new engine for about 60% off the cost of it new. A good deal!
My only other suggestion is to check in your area for local model train shows. You can search for them online. Most of the vendors are hobbyists themselves that sell model trains and supplies to make a few dollars on the weekend. Their trains are usually used but sell for a fraction of the price new. Sometimes you can purchase a beat up engine for its parts for a couple dollars, and sometimes they have parts that have been taken off used engines themselves. Bring your engine along with you and see what you can find. I find bringing an old engine back from the dead always very rewarding! Hope this helps! Happy modeling!

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
