Remeyer53How did you make the photo appear on the forum?
Simply copy the BBCode link from Flickr.
Then in the MR reply space, paste the same link into the TEXT of your reply. DO NOT use the insert image icon at all.
There is a Forum Testing site where you can experiment without cluttering up a thread:

Good Luck, Ed
Remeyer53Clicking on the above link will take you to the Flickr photo. Still not sure how to make it appear here.
This thread explains how
Our own RR Mel has a more elaborate method of lighting passenger cars. Go 1/2 down the page http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/page-12.html
I should add, he is a bulb guy, not leds.

You could use a super cap module I think. Stay alive module for decoders. They have super caps, a resistor and a diode. The proper cap, resistor, and diode would work. I use to have the circuit. Circuits in the 'Net. Search.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
I can see the pic, but you must have a z scale camera.
Thanks. What is the matter with the link? The image is showing on my computer.
you can add a capacitor, but if doing large capacitors and/or multiple capacitors, you may want to add a limiting resistor on the charge end to imit incoming rush current ..
btw .. your link is bad ,,
I have a Walthers HO passenger dome car that came with a nice LED light board. The big problem is that it flickers terribly. I would like to add a capacitor to the circuit. The image below is the board that goes on the short end of the dome car. The red & black wires on the right go to the larger light board at the other end of the car. The gray pads on the left corners are the rail power contacts. Some of the traces can been seen on this side of the board. There is nothing visible on the other side. I am assuming some traces are buried in the board.
Is anyone familiar with the circuit in this board? Has anyone added a capacitor? I am wondering if the a capacitor could be connected at the + & - minus pads at the bottom of the board.
