I bought engine 211093 and tried to install it tonight after taking the locomotive apart, but I got stuck when trying to deal with the capacitor that comes with the 5 pole motor that does not exist with the 3 pole. There is no space in the locomotive frame to fit the capacitor. Does anyone know the trick to this? According the ajckids and zscale info I have the correct replacement engine, but I might not understand this part of the conversion as it just doesn't fit. Any help would be great!!! Thank you so much. Cheers, Jorge
