I'm not sure about the danger of burning out motors - they're probably designed to withstand abuse at the hands of kids (who tend to run locos flat out for long periods). Mind you, I recently bought a Dapol "Pug" (A tiny little OO scale steamer, about the size of one of those "critter" switchers) and was surprised to read the advice in the instructions not to run it at high speeds for long periods - suppose it's logical when you see the size of the wheels (tiny).
