<p>[quote user="richg1998"]</p> <p>There are ferrite inductors, not resistors. Check the color code. Should be 4.7 micro henry inductors.My Bachmanns had those. Some Bachmann locos they are wire wound coils.</p> <p>Many fail to notice that and think they are resistors and remove the PC board. They measure zero ohms with an ohm meter and 4.7 micro henry with an L/C meter.</p> <p>Cut the caps. Inductors are a moot issue with no caps.</p> <p>Usually Bachmann PC boards marked with R, C, L.</p> <p>Rich</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Makes more sense than resistors.</p>
