The SoundTraxx 852001 is the MC1H102P8 DCC mobile decoder — a motor and lighting decoder without sound, for HO scale locomotives. It is rated 1 amp and connects by nmra 8-pin direct plug.
As an MC1 series decoder it operates on DCC only — it needs a command station and will not run on a plain DC power pack. Motor control is SoundTraxx Hyperdrive.

FAQ
Does this make engine sound?No. Mobile decoders drive the motor and lights only. For sound, choose a Tsunami2, Blunami or Econami sound decoder.
Will it run on my DC power pack?No. This is an MC1 series decoder and is DCC only — it needs a command station. If you need DC too, choose an MC2 series decoder such as the 852002 or 852003.
What does the model number mean?MC1H102P8 breaks down as: MC1 series (DCC only), H for HO scale, 1 amp, 02 function outputs, and the connector type.
Will it fit my locomotive?It measures 17 x 17 x 7mm and connects by nmra 8-pin direct plug. Check that against your locomotive before ordering — the other MC decoders use different connectors and sizes.
