Hi
Being new to dcc i would like some advice as to the conversion of the dapol class 73 chassis, first of all there are two capacitors fitted to it one on the top of the motor and one below it are these to be removed when running it on dcc, secondly if i remove the lighting copper contacts as they dont pick up from the chassis now and proceed to wire the front light unit with the positive leg going to the blue wire on the decoder negative with a resistor in line to the white wire and the rear light unit with positive goin to the blue wire and the negative to the yellow wire will it be directional lighting as it originally came ? also is it neccessary to put a resistor in line for the rear light, is my wiring proceedure correct.
Many thanks in advance.
