I've seen the Lenz version but thought it would be far too big for N scale.

Are there any safe caps of the same size Pete? Just in case one day I decide to try something risky.

Not realy but if you had a bit more space i would fit electrolylic ones . Looking in the 'big book of bits' found one that would do the same job 12.5 mill x 10 mill
Tant one are 7.3 x 2.9 mill and they used 10 of them at 45p each (thats trade price +vat) where the electroiylic are 25p each for the value that makes up to the 10 they fitted
