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 ESU 51840 SignalPilot is a multi-protocol accessory decoder built mainly for switching color light signals. It has 16 outputs that drive micro bulbs or LEDs (with series resistors) directly, and because every output is a push/pull stage it works with signals wired common anode or common cathode, including Viessmann signals. Each output can run as a steady, flashing or pulsed light, with adjustable brightness and fade times plus prototypical effects such as soft dimming, fluorescent tube, gas lantern and flicker. Outputs are grouped into signal aspects with the ESU LokProgrammer software, and up to 16 accessory addresses switch those aspects from your throttle. Motorized semaphore signals and turnout drives can be run from it too.

With our new modular speaker baffle set you can easily assemble your tailormade speaker baffle suitable for two miniature speakers. Both – diameter and height – can be individually adapted to suit your needs. Considerable audio pressure and excellent sound fidelity can be generated by employing two speakers wired in parallel. The popular 11x15mm sugar cube speaker with 8 Ohm impedance is supplied with a sealed mounting plate. First select one of the three base frames subject to the type of speaker you want to assemble, namely a circular frame with 28mm diameter or a rectangular type with either 16x35mm or 20x40mm. After you have inserted the speakers into the base frame you may now determine the height of the speaker baffle. The minimum height is 6mm, which can be raised to 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm or 13mm by adding up to three intermediate frames. The set contains two 2mm high and one 3mm high intermediate frame. They can easily be fixed with some glue suitable for plastic materials. The higher the speaker baffle, the better the bass fidelity. It certainly pays off to utilize the entire space available.  8 Ohm 20mm; 23mm and 16x25mm baffles and 1 11 x 15mm Speaker WARNING: This product can expose you to a chemical, which is known to the State of California to cause Cancer and Reproductive Harm - For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
