Default Overheating 95s

The 95 do have a tendency to give off a smell of overheating not metal
bordering on burning from - i presume - either the drive electronics or the
motors under the cars since it doesn't smell like brakes, which can be a bit
disconcerting when its a packed train. This isn't exhibited by the 96 stock on
the jubilee but then they have a different setup.

Anyone know why the 95s are prone to do this? Perhaps the cooling system isn't
quite up to the job?
