Will - I saw these on your site late last night, and I haven't stopped drooling yet. :) Will you be adding them to your Bricklink store anytime soon? (19 years ago, 4-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.custom)

(...) Actually a typical bridge rectifier will drop ~1.4 volts in the supply. That's alot! About a 16% drop in voltage, and a 29% drop in overall power at the top end. I'm not sure what effect this would have on the control circuitry. Mat (20 years ago, 27-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)
