Many of us are more interested in the trains running (remember that the
name of the group, after all, is not lugnet.electrical).

Considering how little overlap there seems to be between hard-core Train
AFOLs and people with lots of electrical experience, I’d think you’d be less
dismissive of any input provided by people with electrical experience even
if they aren’t as interested in the trains as they are in the electrical
problems.

I have to say that I am the opposite of dismissive in this case. I didn’t
follow most of what was said (electricity-wise) during this discussion. I’m a
pretty bright guy, but for some reason, electronics make my brain hurt. I’m
grateful that there are folks for whom circuitry is fun.

Same here...I invite electrical experience and techincal discussion as well.

I think I’ve pushed the envelope as much as anyone electrically WRT LEGO
trains, but I always have to concentrate very hard to do it, and I often have
questions that are odd to answer, due to the non-overlap you mentioned. When
I go to the electronics shop and try to talk about model trains, it always
takes a lot of explaining to make them understand what I’m trying to do. And
when I go to the model train shop to try to ask about electronics, they
almost always refer me to “Bob. He’s our expert on electronics. He comes in
every third Thursday in months with an R in them.”
So anyway. Thanks for your input. As I said, I didn’t follow most of it, but
I caught enough that I’ll remember that the explanation is here if I ever
need it. (And I’ll know who to email, the next time I’m electrically
stuck...)

We need the insight from crossover indivuals such as yourself, David.
Thanks for the contribution and hanging in there as you designed a way over the
hurdles that you were presented.
