I am about to embark on the Train Express (pun intended) I was wondering if anyone has created a BOM and/or can suggest a source for parts in the US? This is my first build so any advice is appreciated. Thanks
I just completed an Express, Here is my BOM for the Train Express...middle column. I am not sure what to do with the 2200pf for C5, I have read that it could be a ceramic. Weirdly it is in parallel with .0022uf coupling cap which I assume is a standard polyester or polyproplene (2200pf and .0022uf are the same value, Ken is messing with us).
I used Nichicon power caps as I find these to be the best, and not that expensive if you buy 10 at a time. Get these from Mouser. I get most of the other high quality stuff from Antique Electronic Supply. I get cheap stuff from Tayda in Tailand.

See my build post once it is approved.

How’s this project going Bshira? The BOM is now live
