I pulled my Railking GP7 (30-20008-1) out the box today because I haven't run it in a couple of years and wanted to give a go around the layout a few times. It still has a battery in it so I let it sit on the track for a short while to charge if needed (battery read "OK") and then I let it pull away slowly, It didn't take long and I could see white smoke from the bottom of the engine, and I was pretty sure I didn't turn on the smoke.
Right away killed the track power and took it off the rails and pulled the shell off. Didn't see any obvious burnt wires or electronics. I put it on the test bench and gave it go, everything powered up great, sound, lights worked and no signs of smoke. Then I moved it forward and backward slowly and there it was, a small whiff of smoke coming from the top of the motor under the flywheel from the motor with the tach reader.
I can't find the part number for the motor from MTH as I would just order a new one.
Anyone know where I can get a new motor?
Thanks!!!
