Craig - thanks. How recently did you buy the smoke kit from Port Lines? This kit is labeled X13B445-B 16ohm. I'm wondering why your element is almost 20. It would be interesting if you were to run your Franklin at 13V (at the rail while its running) for at least 5 minutes to see what happens. I am familiar with using pre-wound 27 ohm resistor elements with direct track power, but nothing as low as this 16 ohm unit unless with a voltage regulator. Thanks.
Bill - thanks. So are they a fairly recent release? Within the last 6 months?
