I’ve never seen a gear box get “hot” yet,….in either toys,….sure, the old Pulmor motors can get hot enough to fry an egg, but the gear boxes?….I’m not seeing that,…I’ve got converted Pulmors with thousands and thousands of hours, and have yet to see any kind of heat build up in a gear box……the gear boxes in model trains just don’t turn that kind of rpm to make any kind of heat,…..perhaps in the case of a large Pulmor there’s some heat soak coming from the motor that’s transient through the shaft to the gear box, but the gear box itself generating heat on its own, ….I’m not seeing it,…..
