Hi I am installing a diode ( 40amp 50v) to replace an old rectifier. The problem I'm having is the train stops when I turn the whistle control handle. Forward or reverse. train runs good, Until I activate the whistle than it stops I turned the voltage up same problem,. Because of space requirements I had to move the rectifier bracket forward about 3/4 of a inch. I than had enough room for the diode. The copper strip that attached to the back of the old rectifier is now soldered to the diode. Any suggestions
