In the different forums I have been in, the units usually just burn out.

I saw a post a while ago where someone reported their 2-6-2 smokestack melting after 10 to 20 minutes of constant run time. Naturally, I checked mine, and it got quite hot, so I set out to remove the generator.

Unless it catches fire, it most likely won't melt your train's face off.  But I've been wrong before.

In the 15 years my repair shop was open I had many an 0-6-0/2-6-0/2-6-2 w/smoke come in with sagged boilers from overheating smoke units. Not much I could do for them except remove the smoke unit and point them to the Bachmann parts page to order a new shell.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

The one that I have has an on off switch in the cab I just shut it off.
