DCS choke for LEDs | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Is this the correct item to be wired into cars to keep the noise out of the DCS system?

Just want to make sure I've got the right part, Thank you!

I do not run DCS but have made some lighting circuits for those that do. Those are what I used and I did not receive complaints about signal loss.

There is a pic of one circuited in this post

Thanks Dale.

Just to be sure I am reading you right, these go on the positive, from the rollers, before the LED set-up?

Thanks.

Dale,

Just one, even with two pick-up rollers?

The 2 rollers are wired together. From that point you have only 1 wire to the LEDs. Also you can connect the rollers with a polyfuse,which protects the wire in a derailment if the roller sits on an outside rail and a center rail at the same time. still one wire comes from a polyfuse lead. I think I drew the polyfuse in one of the schematics. Click to enlarge
