Thanks, Bob! I was just thinking that if the BEEPs with the "problem" boards run at about half-speed of the newer ones, could the older ones have the two motors wired in series? That wouldn't bother me if the older board doesn't fail under the current load needed to pull a few easy-rolling boxcars at a speed that would approximate scale for the little switcher. From what I understand, Kusan, the originator of the BEEP, intended these little guys to be switchers. Here's a good article on the history of Kusan; they made a LOT more than BEEPs:
