  Re: LEGO Capacitors use on Trains?
 
I have distinct memories of running a 9v train motor on the DACTA capacitor at a WAMALUG meeting last spring. I don't remember the details but the train ran for quite the distance. I think this was the same meeting we were measuring train speed with (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: LEGO Capacitors use on Trains?
 
(...) There is no good solution, unless you want to run your train at full speed for interval period in order to charge a big capacitor at 8-9Volts, then reduce the speed of the train and let the capacitor feed the ligth. Using that method the ligth (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
