I have recently fitted reversing white / red lights to a Hornby/Jouef SNCF TGV made in China with a their copy of the old Lima circular motor. As an experienced modeller I have done this many times using 1.8mm LED's, 1N 4001 diodes and 2.2Kohm resistors and not had any problems. With this model there are no problems with the dummy power car, the lights reversing with the direction of the train but with the power car when in the reverse direction when only the red diodes
should show as the train moves there is also flickering intermittent lighting of the white diodes. I have checked wiring, replaced 1N4001's, removed chokes and suppressor fitted across the motor terminals but the problem still exists. Can anyone tell me what I can do to eliminate this flickering in the reverse direction so that only the red diodes show.
