Hi There
I'm just wondering, would adding a capacitor to a loco make much difference? The aim is to give it a bit of lag, and to make it less sensitive to voltage changes. Would I need any other components in the mix, or can the capacitor be added on its own? Are there circuit designs available online?
Also, I'd like to replace the pathetic lights in my Athearn Loco's with LEDs, are there simple circuit designs available to acheive this? I'm not running (nor do I intend to in the forseeable future) DCC, I would just like something that looks better than a flickering lightbulb!
And, while I think of it, anyone know where I can find standard electronic symbols online? It's been too many years since I fiddled with anything like this, and the only one I can remember is the one for a resistor!
Cheers from NZ
