Having just acquired my first LEGO trains last month, I'm concerned about keeping them happy and healthy. I'd like to have the trains run at low speed for an extended period of time (like an hour or so), but I'm also worried about what this might do (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

I have a 9v motor that works for about 5 minutes, then slows down, and eventually stops. Wait 5 minutes, and it can go a little bit, then slows down, and stops. It's like the motor's juice needs to be re-charged. Is this motor dead? or is there (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
