Here's a picture from my latest decoder install: (URL) that the banded end of the diode gets the blue lead from the decoder. The unbanded end gets the white lead. If (...)

(...) As I run 12v stuff I dont know the 9v motor good enough to comment on the capacitors but I dont think it's that good an idea to use a resistor to drop the voltage. Use one or more (zener)diode's instead. Esger (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
