Interesting video. I have several of the Pecketts. Need to DCC them.

Reminds me to find a complete pickups and wiring as spare parts for a Peckett B2, the 0-6-0 version...I botched a hard-wiring installation of a decoderand I have to rewire completely the mess that I have done. Including replacing the burned-off motor... I just have found the motor, X7480, and I need to find the rest. Or solder it...

Just a quick question regarding the capacitor you removed So why was it there in the first place Dose the decoder replace the function of the capacitor just asking as i’m planing to do the same job next week and am not very electrical confident thanks Doug

It's original purpose was to prevent interference with your TV and other electrical appliances. However, modern flat screen TVs work on a different principle, so arnt affected by interference in that way, so I've always thought it safe to remove. As far as I know, the decider doesn't replace it, because some people retain it

Why take out the capacitor? Will that harm the model?
@MessingaboutwithModels2 жыл бұрын
The theory is that it interferes with the DCC signal - it's AC and the frequency varies to send the commands. These capacitors were originally installed to prevent the motor from creating interference with other electrical devices, principally TVs. But modern TVs don't work in the same way, so there's no interference, and removing it doesn't harm the model.

Its one of those things - there are folks who swear by removing them at all costs, and others who never remove them! Seems there are no hard and fast rules.
