Don't forget, power buffers can interfere with CV programming, hence the reason why the Massoth power buffers have onboard circuitry that can switch them out.

I think you will find the broad stripe is (in effect) a l o n g negative (minus) symbol, and the '0' you refer to is a minus-sign in a circle.

Ordered the parts! Per set it costs me Euro 1,20...Hi
I'm going to have a go at adding my own power buffer to one of my locos using the info on the Massoth forum
http://forum.massoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=216
Can someone with more electronical knowledge than me advise - will a 1W rated 150R resistor be OK or should I go for a 2W rated one? The one used in the picture on the forum looks like a lower rated one to me.

Thanks JimThanks Rik, glad you're still monitroing this thread.
I hear you about battery power. I've learned a lot from your blog and lovely railway.
But I bought the LGB starter set and will persevere with that for the time being!
Thanks, will keep you posted on progress.
