[modeleng] Re: voltage controll

Going back to basics, to me it seems unlikely that the original design is 
faulty or there would surely be many complaints and the set makers would 
have changed it to a different make or type of regulator.

The two major "killers" are  spikes or excessive heat, and I would guess 
that the latter might be the problem.
Would it be possible to start with a new board, but before using it, fix a 
lot of heat sinking to it plus add a cooling fan to dissipate the heat.

Alternatively, would the same board from the next size larger generator be a 
better option?.

Either of these might be easier than trying to build a new board yourself.
