Constant lights queryIn my Piko catalogue there's a unit for keeping coach lights on all the time. I presume it's AC at 15v, though it's not made clear. It also mentions a "Choke-coil to included into the operating current supply line to avoid a short circuit of the lighting-voltage through the transformer". Anyone know if you can buy something similar here?Further on there is a" Coupling condenser to transmit the lighting voltage over all isolating points." I'm not sure what that is. Any ideas? |

Yes .
Did youu see the flicker free lighting on the model rail forum ? http://www.modelrailforum.com/for...mp;page=DCC-Concepts-Light-Module It would be something like this . A coupling condenser is a way of saying a capacitor |

Yes, but that was after I bought all the Piko strip lights for my coaches.

What do they look like ? have you got a link cause the only one i can find just shows a line of bulbs |

I need a booster unit for my Roco Lokmaus before I put lights in all my coaches. |

You could build a high frequency power supply and do it as in Roger Amos's book |

Only if you translate it into English for me.

No problem  Just don't read it just build the electronics
