hi first post. has anyone had the experience of wires melting inside of these locomotives? I placed a brand new train on the track,and at first all seemed good, but shortly thereafter while i was loading up the legacy train info, smoke started emanating from the engine, (not from the stacks) and I could smell burning plastic or rubber, just before the zw circuit breaker light went on. I quickly took the train off the tracks still smoking, and after the initial fustration of finding my brand new engine was a lemon, curiousity got the better of me, and I carefully removed the cover. What i found was several of the wires melted together, leading from the control switches to the main legacy board,and those wires in under the smoke unit. Im pretty sure Im going to have to send this train back to lionel, but I'm curious to find out if there replacement wiring harnesses available, that's assuming the electronics and smoke unit are not already fried.
