Sound and non-sound DCC decoders from SoundTraxx, ESU, Digitrax and Train Control Systems. To pick the right one, match three things to your locomotive: the connection (hardwire, 8-pin, 21-pin or Next18 plug), the motor current it needs, and for sound decoders the prime mover or steam profile. Each product page lists its connection, current rating and sound set. Not sure what fits? Ask us before you order.

Digitrax Digitrax DH187A0 | Series 7 Mobile Decoder | HO Scale
The Digitrax DH187A0 is a drop-in light board replacement for HO locomotives - you unscrew the factory DC light board and this Series 7 decoder takes its place, keeping the original lighting positions. It is the standard fit for many Kato, Athearn Genesis and Stewart models, and it brings eight FX7 function outputs at 300mA, far more lighting capability than a two-function decoder. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Speakers, and DCC Accessories. Features Drop-in light board replacement - swaps for the factory DC board in many Kato, Athearn Genesis, Stewart and similar HO locomotives. No harness to route. 8 FX7 function outputs at 300mA - enough for headlights, ditch lights, number boards, cab light and class lights, with prototypical effects on each. 1.0 amp continuous, 2.0 amps peak - ample for single-motor HO diesels. Series 7 platform with back-EMF speed stabilisation for steady low-speed control. Standard NMRA DCC - runs and programs on any DCC system, not just Digitrax. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number DH187A0 Product Type DCC Mobile Decoder (Drop-In Board) Scale HO Motor Current 1.0 A continuous / 2.0 A peak Function Outputs 8 x FX7, 300 mA Connection Direct board replacement Series Digitrax Series 7 Sound No - motor and function decoder only Condition New FAQ How do I know it will fit my locomotive?Drop-in boards are shape-specific. Pull the shell and compare the factory board footprint, mounting clips and light positions against the DH187A0. It is the usual fit for many Kato, Athearn Genesis and Stewart HO diesels, but check yours before ordering - if it does not match, a wired decoder such as the DH127D is the fallback. Why choose a drop-in board over a plug-in decoder?No harness and no wire to hide, and the lighting stays where the manufacturer put it. On models where the light board also carries the motor contacts, a drop-in is usually the cleanest install you can do. What can I do with eight function outputs?Headlight and rear headlight, ditch lights that alternate with the horn, number boards, cab light, class lights - each output can be assigned its own effect and dimming via CV settings. Does it have sound?No. This is a motor and function decoder. For sound in HO, look at a Digitrax SDXH series decoder or a SoundTraxx unit, plus a speaker.

SoundTraxx SoundTraxx 885614 | BLU-PNP8 Blunami GE Diesel Sound Decoder | HO Scale
The SoundTraxx 885614 is a BLU-PNP8 Blunami digital sound decoder with the GE sound set. Blunami is a Tsunami2 with a Bluetooth radio added, so it runs three ways: as a normal DCC decoder on any NMRA-compliant system, on plain DC, or in wireless mode straight from your phone or tablet. Wireless mode needs no command station and no programming track — an old DC power pack and the free Blunami app are enough, and CVs can be read and changed over Bluetooth while the locomotive is running. The app is free for iOS and Android. This version is a drop-in replacement for the factory AT-style board in many HO diesels, suited to HO to S scale. Features 8 GE prime movers: GE FDL-12, GE FDL-16, GE 7FDL-16, GE Dual FDL-16, GE GEVO G12, GE 44-Ton Center Cab Dual Caterpillar, GE Cummins Switcher, GEVO G12 Tier 4 Over 40 air horns and 13 bells, plus air compressors, couplers and dynamos Bluetooth control from the free Blunami app (iOS and Android) — over 300 settings without editing a single CV by hand Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) automatically matches exhaust volume and RPM to the load on the motor, and the app calibrates it for you Three braking types: independent, train and dynamic braking Hyperdrive2 motor control for smooth, creep-speed switching Over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects across 8 function outputs 16 polyphonic sound channels on a 32-bit processor, with a 7-band equalizer and adjustable reverb CurrentKeeper ready — works with the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 885614 Model: BLU-PNP8 Blunami Sound Set: GE Diesel Scale: HO to S scale Decoder Size: 74 x 17 x 5mm Connection: Drop-in AT-style board replacement Max.
