SoundTraxx SoundTraxx 885602 | BLU-1100 Blunami GE Diesel Sound Decoder | N & HO Scale
The SoundTraxx 885602 is a BLU-1100 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 the most compact decoder in the Blunami line — small enough for N scale, suited to N, HO and small 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 4 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 885602 Model: BLU-1100 Blunami Sound Set: GE Diesel Scale: N, HO and small S scale Decoder Size: 31 x 10.5 x 5mm Connection: Hardwire (single wires) Max.

A speaker is not included — browse DCC speakers rated 1 watt or better, and find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track and turnouts. FAQ Do I need a DCC system to use this?No. That is the point of Blunami. It runs on a plain DC power pack with no command station at all — you control it from the free Blunami app over Bluetooth. It is also a fully NMRA-compliant DCC decoder if you already run DCC. Does the app work on Android?Yes. The free Blunami app is published for both iOS and Android. (Some older listings and dealer pages still say iOS only — that is out of date.) Is a speaker included?No. Pair it with an 8-ohm speaker rated 1 watt or better that fits your shell. Which prime movers do I get?All 8 listed above, selectable in the app or via CV 123. You are not locked to one engine sound — pick whichever matches your prototype. Will it fit my locomotive?This one measures 31 x 10.5 x 5mm and connects by hardwire (single wires). Check the space in your shell against that footprint before ordering — other Blunami versions use different connectors and sizes.

Digitrax Digitrax DS44 | Basic Quad Stationary Decoder - For 4 Slow-Motion Turnout Machines | Multi Scale
The Digitrax DS44 is a basic quad stationary decoder that puts four slow-motion turnout machines, such as the Circuitron Tortoise, under DCC control. Throw your turnouts from any throttle on the layout. It takes its power and commands straight from the track, so hookup is two wires to the rails plus the turnout machine leads. Important: the DS44 is for slow-motion (stall-motor) turnout machines only. It will not work with solenoid or twin-coil switch machines such as Atlas, Peco or Kato snap machines. Specifications Brand Digitrax Item Number DS44 Type Basic quad stationary decoder Outputs 4 (A, B, C, D), one slow-motion turnout machine each Turnout Machine Types Slow motion only Power From the track (red and black wires) Addressing Set individually or in groups of 4 (factory default 1 to 4) Scale All scales Includes 1 DS44 stationary decoder, 1 instruction card Made In USA Warranty Digitrax one-year No Worries Warranty UPC 652667080033 Features Controls 4 individual slow-motion turnout machines from your DCC throttle Quick setup: send one switch command and the DS44 takes a sequential group of 4 addresses (for example 5, 6, 7, 8) Individual setup: give each output any switch address you like (for example 6, 13, 25 and 105) Track powered, so no separate accessory power supply is needed Works with Digitrax and other NMRA-compatible DCC systems Compact, shrink-wrapped board that tucks under the benchwork Frequently Asked Questions Will the DS44 run Atlas, Peco or Kato snap switch machines?No. It only drives slow-motion stall-motor machines like the Tortoise. Solenoid (twin-coil) machines need a different stationary decoder. How do I set the addresses?With track power off, connect the red and black wires to the track. Temporarily connect the white setup wire to the same rail as the black wire to set a sequential group of 4, or to the same rail as the red wire to set each output individually. Turn power on, operate the switch address (or the 4 addresses, in order A to D) from your throttle, then disconnect the white wire and fold it away. Does it need its own power supply?No. The DS44 is powered from the track through its red and black wires. What scale is it for?Any scale. It controls the turnout machines, not the track, so it works for N, HO, O and larger. Explore More Browse more DCC Decoders and Electronics & Wiring at Squeaky's Trains & Things.

Digitrax Digitrax SDXN167n18 | Series 7 Plug-in Next18 Sound Decoder | N Scale
The Digitrax SDXN167n18 is an N scale sound decoder on the Next18 plug, so in a Next18-equipped locomotive the install is a single connector and nothing else. It carries SoundFX v3 with eight CV-selectable steam and diesel sound schemes on board, which means one decoder covers a lot of different models, and new .spjs sound files can be loaded later with a Digitrax USB programmer. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Speakers, and DCC Accessories. Features Next18 plug-in connector - no soldering, no harness. Fits the Atlas N FA-1 and other Next18-equipped N scale locomotives. 8 CV-selectable sound schemes included, steam and diesel, so you can match the decoder to the prototype without reloading anything. SoundFX v3 with reloadable .spjs sound files via a Digitrax USB programmer if you want something specific later. 6 FX3 function outputs for headlights and lighting effects alongside the sound functions. Motor drive rated to the Next18 connector capacity - sized for N scale mechanisms.

Manufacturers usually advertise it as "Next18 ready". The Atlas N FA-1 is one common example. Is a speaker included?No. Pick a speaker that fits your shell and matches the decoder impedance - in N scale that usually means a 13mm round or a small oval. Fitting it in a sealed baffle makes a large difference to the result. What do the eight sound schemes cover?A mix of steam and diesel prime movers, selectable by CV, so one decoder can serve several different models in your fleet without reloading sound. Can I load a different sound file?Yes. New .spjs files can be written to the decoder with a Digitrax USB programmer such as the PR4. Running the decoder needs no Digitrax hardware at all - any NMRA DCC system will do.

SoundTraxx SoundTraxx 829100 | Tsunami SoundCar Digital Sound Decoder
The SoundTraxx 829100 is the Tsunami SoundCar — a 16-bit digital sound decoder built for rolling stock rather than locomotives. It has no motor drive at all; it exists to give your cabooses, passenger cars, reefers and stock cars their own sound and lighting. Because the sound comes from the train instead of the engine, you get running sound that moves down the consist: clickety-clack over the rail joints, flange squeal on curves, brake cylinders and coupler clank. SoundTraxx suggests roughly one SoundCar per third or fourth car rather than one in every car. Features 11 air horns and whistles: Nathan K5LA, K5LA Amtrak, K3L, K3LA and P3; Wabco AA2 and E2; Leslie S2B; Hancock air whistle; and two caboose whistles for shoving-platform work 5 bells: modern cast, bronze cast, cast, electronic and gong Clickety-clack configurable for 2-, 4- and 6-axle cars, plus flat spots, flange squeal and brake squeal Full brake system: independent and train brakes, brake cylinders, retainer bleed-off, train line charge, hand brake tie-down and untie, and an emergency “big hole” valve on E-stop Couplers: clank, pin drop and release with glad-hand separation Generators that behave correctly per car type — intermittent for a reefer, constant for a passenger car BeastBanter livestock: cattle or sheep, with a “spook the livestock” function for stock cars 4 lighting outputs with Hyperlight effects including FRED, firebox and stove flicker, and interior/exterior lighting CurrentKeeper ready — quick-plug socket for the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 829100 Model: Tsunami SoundCar Built For: Rolling stock — cabooses, passenger cars, cab cars, reefers, stock cars Scale: N through G scale Decoder Size: 47 x 14 x 8.5mm Connection: Universal-style board with bare, NMRA colour-coded wires Motor Drive: None — this decoder does not drive a motor Current Draw: 15 – 25mA at 14V Function Outputs: 4 (100mA each) Audio Amplifier: 8-Ohm speaker required (not included) Sound Resolution: 16-bit Functions: F0 – F12 Shop the full SoundTraxx range, compare every DCC decoder we stock, browse DCC speakers, or find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track. FAQ Does this go in a locomotive?No. The SoundCar has no motor drive — it is made for the cars behind the engine. Put a Tsunami2, Blunami or Econami in the locomotive and a SoundCar in the train. Do I need one in every car?No. SoundTraxx recommends about one per third or fourth car. The effect is a train that sounds alive along its length, not a row of identical speakers. Which cars is it for?All rolling stock. Cabooses, passenger and cab cars, reefers and stock cars. The generator behaves differently by car type and the clickety-clack is set by axle count, so it can be tuned per car. Is it a Tsunami2?No. It is the Tsunami SoundCar — 16-bit sound, but its own product built for rolling stock, not a Tsunami2 variant. Is a speaker included?No. Use any 8-ohm speaker that fits the car.

ESU LLC ESU 59029 | LokPilot 5 Basic, 21MTC NEM660 | HO Scale
While LokPilot 5 decoders can undoubtedly meet all imaginable requirements of even the most demanding experts, many model railway eras are looking for a robust, high-quality DCC decoder for your standard requirements, which should also be affordable. The LokPilot 5 Basic was developed with the aim of offering a modern decoder with a reasonable range of functions at a reasonable price. The LokPilot 5 Basic comes in two versions: In addition to a version with an 8-pin NEM interface, a version with 21MTC interface is also available. This makes the LokPilot 5 Basic particularly suitable for use in track H0 vehicles. Modes The LokPilot 5 Basic is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 20 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital center. It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255. The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is also possible.The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used on analog DC webs. The maximum speed can be set separately.The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted. Functions The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 reinforced function outputs in each version. In the 21MTC interface, there are 8 logic-level outputs at the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. Motor The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – The typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. Operational reliability On request, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail cuts. Protection Of course, all function outputs as well as the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
