       Building my own Lionel No. 5F Test Set

       Hi friends!
       I am building my own 5F Tester and would like more information
       than I have. I have most of the parts I need and the case,
       meters, transformers, lights and all.
       I am using the schematic in Greenberg's book.  What I need is
       more specific information of a few parts. Either someone who
       knows already or a more specific description of the Lionel parts
       would be great!
       Here are the parts I am having trouble identifying:
       Meter Choke part number 5D-38
       Whistle Choke part number 5D-16
       Also the wattage requirements for the various resistors. I found
       the wattage for the two adjustable resistors in another place,
       but, for example, the 0.1 and 0.2 resistors, are they high
       wattage?
       Anyway, if some one could look in their tester, find some specs,
       or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!
       Thanks,
       Charlie
