[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bcammack Are you sure that your trains aren't so desperately in need of cleaning and lubrication that they are overloading the power supply? It sounds like you are considering treating the symptom here. I'd be concerned about drilling holes in the power pack's case for cooling purposes. Any UL certification would go straight out the window at that point and you'd be liable for any accidental shock or fire event caused by spilled liquid or a errant pine needle falling inside the case and combusting. [/quote] Once modified the insurance company may decide that your claim is null and void. Micheal has the right idea about going to the local hobby store I would also check the track and feel for any warm spots. This may indicate a possible short or ground. You may just find that the power power pack is faulty. Check the trains motor for heat and smell as well.
