Well, His wheels were when his on switch was off, locked as if they were on, And also it recently UNLOCKED, While off but now he cannot GET UP HIS OWN HILL!...

Comparing a washing machine to a collectable plastic toy train is very different.

Comparing the difficulties of attempting to fix the unknown and complex interworking of an unfamiliar thing, to the intricacies of another, is actually a quite relative example.
But you should probably first stick superglue up your own hole to try and fix your gears before recommending it to another member.

I'll drop a tiny bit of superglue in the crack like a VERY small amount and thats it.

Also my plarail lady came and I CANNOT GET THAT DARN BODY TO COME OFF, How do I do it!?

GREAT NEWS! The glue worked! My dad is a hobby guy, He builds models and such, In fact when I set up my new train table in the basement you'll see his years of hard work on raised shelves, He is a VERY Good hobbyist and has all sorts of tiny poke and praud tools that can reach in the gears without messing it up. His wheels are locked as should be now and he runs fine, Thanks for the suggestion B-Station Official! Shoutout to you! Also in my next YT Video there will be a shoutout to B-Station for suggesting super glue.

Glad it worked out for ya. Hopefully it holds out with all the hill climbing lined up.

My dad his this little poke and praud tool that can reach in very small spaces, we didn't even have to open him up, we just had to stick it in the crack and seal it, it dried for about an hour.

Good Job, I guess super glue can fix anything

He came Un-Done, Twice BUT We put lots and completely fused the gear back on and clamped it a bit, It seems to work mostly now.

and ripley, If he keeps on coming un-done, Hes coming to you.

Explain this please.

Ripley, Should I try E-Poxy on Gordon's Gear? Like would that sustain the heating up of cogs when it runs?

ripley802

It is no something I would do, but it is entirely up to you. 😃

I checked, E-Poxy is heat resistant to un-curing like de-bonding but it can affect drying and such, Also remember my dad has a very small needle tool that can put just enough on to grip the axel without breaking it.

So Far, I've repaired 2 things on TnA Engines, 1 Diesel 10 Claw Arm, and 1 Cracked Gear.

Its the gateway to opening them up and exploring, I ocasionally open up my old diesel 10 and learn about the internals because i have 2 now, I will like take the drive unit out and learn how to put it back in and such.

ripley802

Sounds good.

ItsWAWGaming

is the real worry like for people who use the dropper than comes with it and gets it on the internal cogs?

Super

I agree with Mr Ripley, Glue is always only a temporary fix and using Epoxy might ruin any chance for a permanent repair later. You can never get those gears back to the same tightness around the axle that an uncracked gear has so no matter what glue you use it will still be prone to spinning on the axle under a load eventually even if the glued gear remains glued. I recommend just what your plans are, start out small and disassemble engines, especially if you have junkers, until you feel comfortable opening one up and either replacing the cracked gear with a new one or the whole axle. Then the next step would be disassembling the motor itself to see what makes it tick to learn how to repair. Your best tool for learning this is your camer or phone where you can take a picture of each step of disassembly so you can refer to the pictures upon re-assembly.
