Hi -

I'm modifying passenger cars by adding two LEDs at each end of the car added as one module at each end of the car (reversed circuit at each end since one truck is base and one is hot)- keeping the legacy center bulb (AF) and soldering one of the LED leads to each rivet of each truck sticking up for a fixture - using the leg for support, I want have found circuits with a capacitor to eliminate flicker. So would this design (using a capacitor) mean these wouldn't work if I took this passenger train to run on a club's DCC S gauge layout?  Typically a choke develops a voltage across it as it instantaneously resists a change in current - do I have that right?  So why does inductance cause his issue?   Should I put a choke in series (I think, parallel too, I could guess, I wonder about an RLC circuit and AF equipment .... anyway, let us know what you find ...                            Tom
