lahori, I'm curious about something, if I may ask.

Were you running this engine at or near full throttle on the MRC 1370?

I am testing several for some friends and model train colleagues.
The first one has failed at about 18 hours.

This ran on simple DC (no pulse) at 10 volts.
The current draw was 110 ma when I started the test, and reached a minimum of about 90.
It was an almost-new engine (perhaps run an hour or two at the most and then
shelved by the owner).

I concur with Tony, 90 ma is not excessive.  And I was running this on a loop of Kato Unitrack
pulling NO cars at all.  So load is not the problem.
