Electronics – 26/365 hours of model railroading

I managed to squeeze in another hour, this time making a Capacitor Discharge Unit that will double as the power supply for the other accesories on my N scale project layout. The CDU was from ebay and came as a kit, but i don’t mind saving a few pounds and having a fun little project like this. An article in model railroad hobbyist about making your own kits like this maybe the way i go in the future but time is not on my side.

It was a nice little project and you’ll learn alot more this way than buying a ready built commercial component.

Its all screw terminals so when this in under the layout it should be easy to work with, i.e no soldering iorns.

Order your own CDU here (no affiliation to me)
