ZW-L is what I was speaking of, as I was going to buy a new one from Lionel on sale at the time. That was the kicker whe LIONEL told me to run them on DC instead of selling me a ZW-L! If those parts are in a wall wart, its much easier to toss out a 40.00 wall wart than a 400.00 LC+ engine. And as I said, I dont agree with running them at lower power, that is what I was told by a good source that lionel did, and heard them talk about it on a podcast. What I was told about the rectifier is if it wasn't being worked converting AC that the DC just passes through. Same with the capacitor that wont work nearly as hard with a clean DC passing through it. Actually the service guy here locally calls the parts junk. And some not only change the big capacitor but the small ones too! While fixing failure after failure after failure. Same parts. Something aint right here lol
