Reply to "How hot is too hot for American Flyer?"

You may find the fingers to drum contact is light and causing extra current to go through them, in worst case scenario the heat can distort the drum and tracking on it.

It may be worth dismantling the reverse unit and cleaning the drum and the ends of the fingers. They fingers may also need to be adjusted to put some extra tension on them by setting them to about 40 degrees and then replacing back again. Just be careful as to how you remove them from the tabs that hold them in place and putting them back on again.

it could also be something nice and simple like heat generated from the coil that is energised going into the lever.
