Gavin,
Slip some striped wire insulation over the adjacent pins. Don't take a chance of needing a new decoder as well.
I had to run mine a fast speed for several minutes then at a little lower one for 30+ minutes. Then this summer, after 14+ years, had to do it again.

So far I've programmed it to come on at intervals of between 2-3 hours a day for a minute or so hoping that the continued application of voltage will help advance the burning of the lubrication. I hope to report back on this in a few days. I have to say that I have been trying to see if there are other sources out there who could sell me a newer (2nd or 3rd batch - 2010/2012) of K27s but it's been quite hard. eBay / Facebook / modeltrainmarket (doesn't ship to Singapore) If any of our fellow members have too large a fleet and you're looking at trimming your Blackstone K27s, maybe you could contact me. Thanks Gavin
