It sounds like there's 2 issues here. The roller shorting out on the axle, and the antique transformer not cutting the power in time.

Once again when there's smoke,and or fire there's a "cool affordable classic transformer"lurking in the background of the layout.

Either add a fast acting fuse, or switch to a modern transformer. They had cloth covered extension cords and Christmas lights back in the 40's and 50"s too. You wouldn't dare use them today.

My PH180 bricks trip on any short, and I'm sure they'd trip in a flash for those K-Line cars.
