The thread Super mentions specifically post 37 from Tramp has a bit more info on the components.

I will say they seem to run fine with out the extra resistors and capacitor. I have not had one die or anything from removing those and running. It should indeed give you the 4.5v.
Hope this helps, if you have any specific questions about putting it back together, please post some pics and I will chime in to try and help.
BTW, thanks for calling this out. looks like the T&A trains and the regular talking ones are wired the same.
