SRman Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's a part of the suppression system for DC operation. You can quite safely bypass it with a straight piece of wire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMorrison Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 In fact chokes and capacitors should be removed when converting a loco from DC to DCC anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2018 In fact chokes and capacitors should be removed when converting a loco from DC to DCC anyway Is this a 'light the blue touchpaper and retire to a safe distance' moment?
