The capacitor can be used to run lights in a train if you run an RCX to power the
rails - that way, the lights will be full brightness.
That's assuming the cap has a diode to allow current only one way, otherwise you'd
have to add one to the wire from the motor, to make sure the cap didn't feed it.
