I do not run my trains for long periods of time, but I have done four motors on 1
power supply. I didn't notice any problems

Nope, never thought of that. If I clean my track I usually just use a rag, but I
do not often clean my track. The track always works so well that I forget that
there may be some dirt on the rails.

headlights is like adding an extra little treat.

Hey, get pictures of those models and find some web space! I cannot offer any
space, but I could scan pictures for you if you can't.

P.S. I do not have that many engine designs (and only one of them is still
together), but you can check out the engines I made at
http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/trains/Engine%20gallery/engine_gallery.htm
Only two of them have/had working headlights.
