Burned out motor???????????
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, April 28, 2004 4:38 PM
When I but my loco on the track it just smoked,it worked fine before. My other locomotives work,and on top of that I don't think I sent in my warrrenty on time what should I do?[?][?][?] I'v considered buying another one but I'm on a budget and that would cut it about in half. The loco is a bachmann 4-8-4 n scale and my favorite one too. I't about drove nuts [banghead]H-E-L-P

Yep you definatly burned out the motor. All is not lost thouogh. Contact your hobby shop and see if they can find any local model railroad repair men in your area. I am sure for $30.00 they can get your loco running to better then it was before.

If you still have the receipt, you might still be able to get warranty work done.
