(...) *** Warning *** Not a Lego purist application *** MRC Tech II throttles, well known in the model railroading world, solve this problem nicely. I have a passenger train with two locos (4 motors) which is no problem at all for my MRC throttle. (...) (25 years ago, 20-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not true. You -can- solder to the lego track. I know. I have about 10 pieces that have various combinations of wires leading off them, plus having rebuilt points to a all curve/straight pattern. You need a good temp. controlled soldering (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I am not 100% sure, but I think it may be a coil. Many devices have these and they serve as RF interference supression. Since at least some theories have the waveform from the controller being PWM, RF supression is important... (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I would say that it is a fuse, never tested it but by the weigth it is to ligth to be a coil and also because a capacitor would be better help than a coil. Martin (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you open one up, you'll see it's nothing that fancy. A loop of metal, perhaps magnetic, that the 9volt wire wraps around once. I'm guessing it has something to do with RF interference, but that's a complete guess... John1, GMLTC (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
