After a 45 year hiatus I got back into the hobby last year.
At first I just went with what I knew , i.e. DC but the sound bug bit and now
I have successfully installed a decoder in a Light Mountain thanks to all the information I obtained from this forum.
I cut the capacitors as recommended and now I am about to install a decoder in a Russian Decapod. However I can't find any information as to whether or not there are capacitors to cut on its circuit board. There is a
small orange object that is similar to the capacitor on the Light Mountain board but it is smaller and a different shape.
Is that a capacitor and should I cut it?
Thanks in advance from the Great White North.
