I have a K-line Berkshire K3670-1426CC. Beautiful engine, perhaps my favorite (shh, don't tell the MTH Daylight this)...
I started it up this afternoon, and smoke started coming from the chassis. The previous night, I had run it without problem. It was still on the track where I ended last night's session. Opening up, I found the culprit: one of the boards was smoking. I think it's the motor control board? Opening the engine up, this is what it looks like, the smoking board is highlighted:
The wires going from the board to the motor have charred, along with some blackening of the board, transistors, and capacitors, seen here:
Attempting to pull the connector apart resulted in the connector base delaminating from the board. Char can be easily seen.
So.. Question for everyone. Is this engine toast? Can I get a replacement board? How would you go about fixing this?
Thanks in advance.
