"Coreless motors WILL overheat and melt the windings, they don't have a solid iron core to dissipate the heat. haven't had any problems with any other motors in Athearn and P2K locos, but even witht hose, it is NOT a good idea to leave them sitting still on DCC powered track. The most heat is built up when they are not moving." <br /> <br />I've got a P2K BL2. I don't have the manual for it right now, so I'm wondering if the motor is coreless or not. Any idea? <br /> <br />
