I have a recent Hornby 56 which I hadn't got round to converting to DCC. Somehow, it ended up sat on a DCC-energised track and appears to have gone up in smoke...
I know that coreless motors are a no-no to use unconverted - do Hornby use those?
I'll re-wire it for dcc anyway (removing capacitors and the diodes involved in the lighting) and see where it gets me. However, the smell of fried electrics indicates that something has burnt out.
Any help would be appreciated.
