Check to see if the blade installed correctly

Found VIA GOOGLE. Hope it helps.

I have used 18ga lamp wire but you can use wire as thin as telephone wire. My rule of thumb is to use thicker wire (lower gauge number) the more motors on the train you are running. 20 or 22ga is generally used by most.

They go into the coal tender. Push and lift on the coal shoot for the boiler in the cab.

Hold main shaft with pliers or vise grip.

Here is a great blog on how to change a glue gun nozzle. But big things to remember, preheat the gun, use gloves or a wrench and be careful! If you don't preheat your glue gun, you are likely to strip the nozzle and then be unable to use it again and may even break the gun. Hope this helps! http://www.gluegun.com/blogs/tips-tutorials/7918501-how-to-change-a-glue-gun-nozzle

If you have an Explore One, Explore Air, Explore Air2 or the Maker, the software program, Design Space is not yet advanced to work offline on your computer. You can do some light editing if you are using an iPad.. Provocraft has promised offline functionality since the current program was released in 2012. For humor - the CEO recently indicated on social media several times he had over 100 'software engineers' working on Design Space. which is more than NASA had to land on the moon doing everything manually. This is not a complex program Unfortunately his social media posts are not too accurate. Recently he indicated Provocraft was a very small company and selling their machines at losses and could not afford a school program - while he was encouraging users to take their Cricut to School....keepign in mind you have to use their proprietary software and another graphic program to actually work with most medium to complex projects. With over $240M in sales in 2018 - and still a private company - not so small and realistically they could never afford to sell that many machines at a loss for very long. Cheap plastic made in China with a 12 mo warranty and no repair or service offered - throw away product. Like most issues with their software, they are not a software company and do not do well at all - unfortunately.

Educated guess that the adjustment screw (knob) is not locked OR the screw shaft is worn on the top/bottom allowing the gear to jump off the screw thread. Does it shake when the planner is off? A question is Is the thickness indicator still showing the original setting? From another site: Once the height is set, remember to push the black bar back down to lock the cutting head in place. DeWalt web site customer rep might be able to assist you.

Hi Touzon, what Steve tells you is correct, the Rechargeable pias are 1.2 volts and conventional Alkaline batteries, depending on the brand, arrive to deliver 1,555 volts and depending on the number of batteries, the difference is made every growing older This is why your luminous candles flash I hope you understood the comment Greetings Franco Dosil Hola Touzon, es correcto lo que te comenta Steve, las pias Recargables son de 1,2 volts y las pilas Alcalinas convencionales, dependiendo la marca, llegan a entregar 1, 55 volts y dependiendo de la cantidad de pilas, la diferencia se hace cada vez mayor Es por esto que tus velas luminarias parpadean Espero hayas comprendido el comentario Saludos Franco Dosil

Make sure the A or D terminal is connected to the center rail. U terminal to the outer rail. First do this without the sound activation button. Horn should sound this way. Once this works correctly, add the sound button in on the center rail lead (A or D) If the sound activation button activates the horn, reverse the connections to the sound activation button. This should solve your difficulties

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.

If it is the 1045 flagman, you need a replacement arm with the attached flag. disconnect the man from the metal base and open the figure with the screws on his back. Disconnect old arm or whats left of it and reverse the process to re assemble. If you do not have a 1045C contactor, one side of a 154C will work If it is the 145 gateman the arm has a screw or drive pun into the man's shoulder. If you can get a seperate arm this is the way to go. if not parts dealers will have the complete man. Open the base undo the screw that holds the man to the arm remove damaged man, Reverse process to reassemble

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.

A Lionel 1130 is a "Scout" type locomotive....they are not particularly valuable even to collectors. They were a part of the low end starter sets Lionel made. Now if you had a similar vintage 736 Berkshire or a 681 or 682 Turbine they are worth considerably more.

What is wrong or missing on yours?

Most Stanley planes have the number cast into the front of the toe on top. Smoothing planes numbered from 1 to 8 range from very small to very large Most common ones include 3,4, and 5 Smoothing planes Bigger than that were the 6,7 amd8 joiner and fore planes. The number is cast into the iron bed either in front of or just behind the rosewood knob. Block planes have the jumber either cast or machined into the bed as well and include numbers such as 9, 60 1/2 and 118 (sheet metal bed made mostly for schools. Post a picture or two and I can help more

Recent Lionel transformers are notorious for their issues. Put an old fashioned reverse switch into the circuit, an old Lionel 88 will do the wire to terminal 1 of the lockon or the wire tothe center rail needs to be cut and attached to the 2 terminals of the 88 reverse switch. Note this is ancient technology from the 30s to 50s

It should not be too difficult to replace the entire rod assembly including the valve rod eccentric rod and eccentric crank. THe crankpin in the drive wheel holds the eccentric crank to the wheel at the top there should be another screw freeing the valve rod and crank in one piece. two screws and 10 minutes you should be done. I am basing this on other Lionel locomotives including the Southern Crescent 8702, 736 and 1656

If you are connected to the internet wirelessly, then you most likely have lost the connection between the circuit and your router. Even though I have an Explore, I connect it to my computer with the usb cable, only. I don't want to take any chances.
