(...) I'm no electronics engineer by any stretch-- A diode, iirc, allows DC current to 'flow thru' in only one direction. What would a diode do across the output on the top of the train motor? And why would one be good for 'inductive' loads such as (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
