If the motor is completely free running, it should not overheat even at 24v.... most likely a partially shorted winding on one segment

Hi Cessna,

Since this is a Bachmann Europe item, for best results, we recommend you contact Bachmann Europe customer support directly. Please note that this forum is administrated by Bachmann Trains USA. While there may be a member able to assist you, Bachmann Trains USA as a company does not provide support for Bachmann Europe products.

Brand new decoders, purchased in UK and carried home to Michigan.  Installed in two new loco's this week, on new track.  Both run, but stop at random points on the layout, and sit with no control for 90seconds (always this period) then set off again at the same speed.  Lights are still on during this period, so still powered up.  I have two of them, different loco's displaying the same problem.  Not returnable as the store is 3000miles away...  Can you help?

Dear RKC,
Please give the service department a call tomorrow.
They'll be happy to help you resolve the situation.
Good luck!

Our son's little big hauler motor gets extremely hot after running for only about ten minutes. I mean REALLY HOT. Then it stops.  Give it a few minutes to cool and you can get another ten minutes. I've taken it out of the chassis, removed the rods, and have it sitting free on a table with clips to the motor leads. Same result. Gears and wheels have been cleaned, greased, oiled. Help. A dad's image is at stake.

Hi trainman,

Both of these locomotives have plastic boilers.
