My first year Polar Express died, and I sent it back for repairs.  It ran fine for months, but then the smoke fan quit.   This time I did what Alan suggested using a AA battery. After a SMALL drop of oil, it ran again and has been working ever since.  Good luck!  Since your board went out, are you planning on running on straight DC, or using an electronic reverse unit for the motor or....? 

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments about voltage to my S-Gauge smoke unit motor.  I was going to do a "Rube Goldberg" straight DC hookup to the motor, as there are issues with the board (per expert advice from Gunrunner).  All tests have shown that the motor is good, and it is a new motor.  I put it on the track one more time, turned the smoke switch back on, and it smokes like crazy again.  Sure is a demon in this engine!
