Reply to "LED Headlights for a Dummy Diesel - Odd Behavior"

John, appreciate the reply as always.  I'm beginning to speculate whether or not ditching the LCRX boards is something that I should consider?  I say this because I just finished converting an engine from an AC/DC Commander board to a Cruise Commander board - and as part of this I also wired in LED headlights.  Testing the engine this evening I noticed a couple things...  First, I didn't need to put the capacitors across the light outputs and the ground to make the outputs "fire", and running the engine I don't see the flickering behavior with the "off" headlights while running across the track and over switches.  This is on an engine that has a single pickup roller on each truck.  

I notice that 3rd Rail / Sunset Models has an ERR board called the Mini Commander EX, intended for dummy units.  Do you, or anyone else have experience with these to know whether they would be immune to the LED lighting challenges I've had with the LCRX boards so far?
