The Digitrax SE74 is the signal and turnout decoder that ties a working signal system to your LocoNet. It drives signal masts, throws four turnouts, reads eight input lines for sensors and local push buttons, and stores eight routes of eight entries each - which means interlockings and crossovers can be set from a single command instead of one turnout at a time. Signalling your layout? Browse our DCC Accessories, DCC Wiring, and the full Digitrax range. Features Fully connectorized installation - signal driver cables and turnout leads plug in, so a signal bay can be built on the bench and dropped under the layout. Four turnout outputs, configurable for solenoid machines (Peco, Atlas, Kato) or slow-motion machines such as the Tortoise. 8 input lines for block detectors, sensors and local control buttons at the fascia. 8 system routes with 8 entries each - throw a whole crossover or interlocking from one command. Optional DCC 9-aspect control mode, including Lunar aspects, for prototypical signalling. Setup via option switches or LocoNet programming, with Series 7 style configuration from a DT602 throttle. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number SE74 Product Type DCC Signal and Turnout Decoder Scale All scales Turnout Outputs 4 - solenoid or slow-motion Input Lines 8 Routes 8 routes x 8 entries Signal Aspects Up to 9-aspect DCC mode including Lunar Connection LocoNet, connectorized signal driver cables Condition New FAQ What else do I need to get signals running?The SE74 plus signal masts and a way to carry the connections to them. Most installs use a Signal Driver Cable Kit (SDCK) for the ribbon cable and sockets, plus mast bases and mounting hardware. You also need occupancy detection - the SE74 displays aspects, it does not detect trains on its own. Can it drive slow-motion turnout machines?Yes. The four turnout outputs are configurable for either solenoid machines such as Peco, Atlas and Kato, or stall-motor machines such as the Tortoise. What are routes and why do they matter?A route sets several turnouts at once from a single command. With eight routes of eight entries you can line an entire crossover or interlocking with one button press instead of throwing each point individually. Do I need a Digitrax command station?Yes for full configuration - the SE74 is a LocoNet device and is set up over LocoNet, with the most convenient programming from a DT602 throttle.

The Digitrax DS52 is a two-output stationary decoder that will drive either kind of turnout machine - slow-motion stall motors such as the Tortoise and Switchmaster, or solenoid machines such as Peco, Atlas Snap Switches and Kato Unitrack. The capacitive discharge circuit gives solenoids the hard kick they need to throw reliably, and everything lands on screw terminals, so a board goes in with a screwdriver and no soldering. Wiring a layout? Browse our DCC Accessories, DCC Wiring, and the full Digitrax range. Features Drives two turnout machines of either type - two slow-motion stall motors, or two solenoid machines, whichever your layout uses. Capacitive discharge for solenoids gives twin-coil and bi-polar machines a proper snap, including Kato Unitrack, AristoCraft and LGB two-wire types. Screw terminals throughout - wire it in with a screwdriver, no soldering under the layout. Addresses set individually or sequentially, so the two outputs can sit anywhere in your numbering scheme or as a consecutive pair. Works in all scales on track power up to 22V. Standard DCC accessory decoder - works with any NMRA DCC system, not just Digitrax. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number DS52 Product Type DCC Stationary (Accessory) Decoder Scale All scales Outputs 2 turnouts Machine Types Slow-motion stall motor, or 2-wire bi-polar and 3-wire solenoid Solenoid Drive Capacitive discharge Addressing Individual or sequential Connections Screw terminals Max Track Voltage 22 V Condition New FAQ Will it drive Tortoise machines?Yes. The DS52 handles two slow-motion stall-motor machines such as the Tortoise by Circuitron or the Switchmaster, as well as solenoid types. You select the mode when you set it up. Will it throw Kato Unitrack turnouts?Yes. Kato Unitrack uses a two-wire bi-polar solenoid, which the DS52 drives through its capacitive discharge circuit - the same circuit that handles three-wire Peco and Atlas Snap Switch machines. Can I mix machine types on one decoder?The two outputs share a configuration, so plan on a DS52 per pair of like machines rather than mixing a Tortoise and a snap switch on the same board. Do I need a Digitrax system?No. It is a standard NMRA DCC accessory decoder and will take turnout commands from any DCC system.

The Train Control Systems KA1 Keep-Alive® is a compact stay-alive capacitor pack that feeds backup power to your DCC decoder whenever the wheels lose contact with the rails. No more stalling on dirty track, dead frogs, or insulated turnouts. The KA1 comes in at about half the size of a KA3 and delivers roughly one-third the capacitance of a KA3/KA4, making it a great choice where space is tight in N and smaller HO locomotives. It includes Blue and Black-with-White-stripe lead wires to solder to your decoder's keep-alive pads (V+ and ground), so it works with TCS and most other-brand decoders that accept an external keep-alive. Browse more decoder add-ons in our DCC Accessories collection, shop the full Train Control Systems lineup, or pair it with a new sound decoder from our DCC Decoders collection. Features Keep-Alive® stay-alive capacitor pack eliminates stalling on dirty track, dead frogs, and insulated rail joints. Compact — about half the size of a KA3; delivers roughly one-third the capacitance of a KA3/KA4. Includes Blue and Black/White lead wires to solder to your decoder's keep-alive pads — works with TCS and most other-brand decoders. Dimensions: 1.063" x 0.35" x 0.244" (27 x 8.9 x 6.2 mm). Input rating 12–16V; works with any scale and any DCC system. More Information Brand Train Control Systems (TCS) Item Number 1454 (KA1) Type Keep-Alive / Stay-Alive Capacitor Pack Connection Blue + Black/White Wire Leads (solder-on) Dimensions 1.063" x 0.35" x 0.244" (27 x 8.9 x 6.2 mm) Input Rating 12–16V Scale Any Scale Condition New FAQ What does a Keep-Alive actually do?It stores an electrical charge and feeds it to your decoder when track power drops out, so the locomotive keeps moving and its lights and sound stay on across dirty track, frogs, and gaps. How do I connect the KA1?Solder the Blue wire to your decoder's keep-alive positive (V+) pad and the Black/White wire to the ground pad. It works with TCS decoders and most other brands that offer keep-alive connections — check your decoder's manual for the correct pads. Why choose the KA1 over a larger KA3/KA4?It's much smaller and fits where bigger packs won't — ideal for N scale and cramped HO shells. It holds less charge, so for longer run-through use a KA3 or KA4 if you have the room.
