Reply to "Lionel T1 Duplex Legacy Upgrade"

Yep, the smoke resistor for the regulator is an 8 ohm resistor.  However, all the regulators I got from Lionel do the same thing, they start out fine, but after a few seconds they cut back the smoke to where I don't get any smoke volume.

While I spar with Lionel about getting working regulators, I'm going to put a bandaid on mine so I have a working locomotive.  I'm building a small board that will switch in half-wave track power using the anemic signal you see here to trigger it, and I'll just swap the resistor and drive it from half-wave track power.

Just wondering... have you made any progress with Lionel support/parts on this issue?
