oups! don't try it or be very carefull. the capacitor is a 1Farad 3Volts max capacitor. that would limit the voltage that you can put your regulator at 3V. If you go past that voltage, you'll end up blowing up your capacitor (quite a messy situation (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

|

I was looking through the 2001 Pistco-Datca catalog and when I saw that set #979723, Robolab Cities and Transportation Set, that crossing brought back memories of 7866 (12V era). Anyone have or built something like what's shown? Adrian (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
