A dummy plug is what keeps a converted N scale locomotive running on DC while you wait to fit a decoder. Plug a DNDP into the harness in place of the decoder and the motor circuit is completed for plain DC operation; pull it out, drop the decoder in, and the same locomotive is DCC. This is a five-pack, which is the sensible way to buy them - they are small, easy to lose, and you always need one at the wrong moment. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Wiring, and DCC Accessories. Features Run the same locomotive as DC or DCC - the dummy plug completes the circuit for DC, the decoder replaces it for DCC. Five per pack. These are tiny parts that disappear into the carpet; a spare or four is worth having. For use with the Digitrax DNWH and DNWHPS N scale harnesses. No soldering and no tools - it is a plug swap. Also useful when selling on or storing a locomotive you want to leave in DC condition. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number DNDP Product Type DC Dummy Plug Scale N Quantity 5 pack Use With Digitrax DNWH and DNWHPS N scale harnesses Purpose Completes the motor circuit for DC operation Condition New FAQ What does a dummy plug actually do?It bridges the motor and pickup connections so the locomotive runs on plain DC. Without it, or without a decoder in its place, the circuit is open and the loco will not move. Do I need one if I am fitting a decoder?No. The decoder takes the dummy plug's place in the harness. Keep the plug somewhere safe though - you will want it if you ever pull the decoder out for another project or sell the loco as DC. Will these work in HO?These are the N scale version, for the DNWH and DNWHPS harnesses. HO installs use the corresponding HO parts. Why five?Because they are small, unlabelled and easy to lose, and because most people converting a fleet are doing several locomotives at once.

The Digitrax SFX007 adds prototype sound to almost anything on your layout. It is a sound only decoder with no motor control, so it works as a second decoder alongside the mobile decoder already in your locomotive, or on its own in rolling stock, inside a structure, or under the layout for stationary sound. Eight factory sound projects ship stacked on the decoder and you pick between them with CV60, so it is ready to run straight out of the package. An 8 ohm box speaker and a 330uF capacitor are included, and the Digitrax Easy Connect harness needs only two wires to the track. Smart Power Management keeps the decoder from tripping your booster or programmer during setup. Specifications Brand Digitrax Item Number SFX007 Decoder Type Sound only, no motor control Sound System Digitrax SoundFX v3+ Sound Memory 16 Megabit onboard Audio Up to 8 simultaneous voices, customizable 16, 12 or 8 bit Speaker Included 8 Ohm box speaker, 16 x 26 x 9 mm, 6 pin plug Capacitor 330uF, included Track Connection Digitrax Easy Connect harness, 2 wires Addressing 2 digit and 4 digit Programming Direct and Operations mode Scale All scales Compliance DCC compatible, FCC Part 15 Class B UPC 652667200653 Features Sound only design pairs with the non sound decoder already in a locomotive, so you keep the motor control you have and add sound on top. Eight factory stacked sound projects: AC4400CW, ATSF 3751, C-420, GP7, GP38-2, SD40-2, SD70MAC and UP3985. Diesel and steam are both covered. CV60 selects which of the eight projects is active. No programming track gymnastics and no download needed to switch. Reloadable with any SoundFX 8 bit or 16 bit project using the Digitrax Sound Programmer and the SoundLoader app. Compact enough to sit alongside an existing decoder in many locomotives. Use custom sounds to give rolling stock a voice, or to drive stationary and under layout sound. Smart Power Management stops the booster and programmer shutdowns that plague high draw sound decoders. Speaker and capacitor are in the package, so there is nothing else to buy to hear it run. Frequently Asked Questions Does the SFX007 control the motor?No. It is sound only. Keep the mobile decoder already in the locomotive for motor and lighting control, and let the SFX007 handle sound as a second decoder on the same address. Can I use it as an add on to a Series 5 decoder like the old SFX006?No. Digitrax states the SFX007 is not compatible as a Series 5 add on the way the SFX006 was. It installs as an independent second decoder instead. What scale is it for?All scales. The decoder and the included box speaker are sized to fit HO and larger comfortably, and the harness wiring suits O, S and G installs just as well. Do I need to buy a speaker?No. The 8 ohm 16 x 26 x 9 mm box speaker is included and plugs into the 6 pin connector, along with a 330uF capacitor. Can I change the sound later?Yes. CV60 switches between the eight projects already on board, and you can overwrite the decoder with any SoundFX project using the Digitrax Sound Programmer and SoundLoader. Will it work in rolling stock or a building?Yes. Digitrax builds this decoder for exactly that. Load a custom project and use it for a caboose, a stock car, a sawmill, or any under layout sound scene.
