John,

The train max speed seems to be reduced to about 1/3 of it's original speed. I suspect the chassis ground on the voltage regulator may be the problem. Should I have used an insulating washer to insulate the voltage regulator from the mounting screw?

Additionally the motor was pretty hot after about 30 minutes of running. I would not have noted the hot motor, except that I removed the shell to add the capacitor. So maybe the hot motor is normal.

Here is the parts list:

Capacitor: 470uf, 35v electrolytic

Voltage Regulator 5 VDC, 1 amp Radio Shack P/N 276-1770

Full Wave Bridge Rectifier 50 volts, 4 amps Radio Shack P/N 276-1146

Here is what I have installed:

Thank you for your help...

Earl
