I am reworking my Atlas H.O. Alco HH600, remounting the Loksound 5.0 micro so that it fits under the hood better. I noticed what seem to be two capacitors (?) that probably act as interference filters attached one each to motor leads. Can these be safely removed? I use only DCC and cable T.V. so there seems to be no purpose in keeping them and they do take up a bit of precious space. The filter has “103M” printed on it.
Thanks for any help. I am making a mounting for the decoder right now so that it will sit lower and not keep the hood from fitting. It has a small, tightly fitting shell. The engine with the Loksound runs and sounds great! Don’t miss the QSI it came with!
