The BR1 (part BR1) does not feed loconet directly, it's part of the
power source (it's connected to the fuse and power jack).
Have you seen the schematic link I posted? Could I just start with
another power wall wart current (instead of 15v/20va) and feed
directly into part U6 and U3? Part U6 is outputting 15v and U3 is
outputting 5v. I would assume that U6 amd U3 both have the same
input voltage (35v per digikey specs?). Then I could just have the
power jack and fuse without the bridged rectifier.
