What are your thoughts about the effects on motors or train controllers of
continous or semi-continous operation?
To clarify, if trains are run 10-12 hours each day for several months, would
you expect damage to the motors or controller? Alternatively in a
semi-continous state, if the trains are run for a few minutes at a time and
then rest before starting again, would you expect less strain on the parts?
I'd also be curious about the same stress on 9-volt micro motors and mini
motors.
What do you think?
