Hi everybody,

just have a look at my 12V train motor. It melted from inside until it stopped
running.

Wow cannot restart ist, think it is trash.

I used to run the disney train in my load storefront permanently, so i need any
ideas/experiences how long i can run these motors without trashing another one?
Will try to put the next on a timer.

Maybe there is also a way of cleaning or oiling those motors for a better run,
i have no experiences with that.

Some infos on how to proceed would be gladful.

Best regards
Pierre

LOL, yes that happens with continues running. Everything needs a break now and
then. So maybe you could built in the program for regular pauzes?
