    Digitrax Digitrax LT1 | LocoNet Cable & Decoder Tester | Any Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    If you've ever spent an evening crawling under your layout chasing a phantom LocoNet glitch, you already know how welcome the Digitrax LT1 is in a DCC toolbox. This compact tester checks LocoNet cables for proper wiring and lets you bench-test mobile decoders before they ever go near a locomotive, so problems get caught at the workbench instead of in the middle of an operating session. What's in the Box LT1 tester board with four diagnostic LEDs and a female 6-pin RJ12 jack Test harness with 6-conductor telco wire, male RJ12 plug, and a 100-ohm 2-watt protection resistor Printed instruction sheet covering both cable and decoder testing modes Why Hobbyists Reach for the LT1 Verify LocoNet cables in seconds. Plug a cable between the LT1 and any powered Digitrax command station or booster, and all four LEDs light up when the cable is good. Any dark LED tells you exactly which conductor failed. Test decoders before installation. Connect a mobile decoder to the harness, set it on your programming track or main, and use your throttle to confirm motor output, lighting functions, and DCC response without soldering it into a locomotive first. Catch shorts and bad crimps early. Especially useful if you build your own LocoNet cables with a crimper and bulk telco wire — one quick LED check confirms the crimp before the cable disappears under benchwork. Works with any scale. Z, N, HO, S, O, or G — if you run a Digitrax LocoNet system, the LT1 belongs in your toolbox. Specifications Brand Digitrax Item Number LT1 SKU 245-LT1 Type LocoNet Cable & Decoder Tester Connector RJ12 6-pin (telco) Indicators Four diagnostic LEDs Protection 100-ohm 2-watt resistor on harness Scale All scales (Z, N, HO, S, O, G) Compatibility All Digitrax LocoNet command stations, boosters, and starter sets Frequently Asked Questions Does the LT1 work with non-Digitrax DCC systems?The cable-test function works with any standard RJ12 6-pin telco-style cable, but the LocoNet test mode is specific to Digitrax LocoNet (NCE, MRC, and ESU systems use different bus wiring). For decoder testing, the LT1 works with any NMRA-compliant mobile decoder paired with a Digitrax throttle and command station. Do I need a separate power supply?No. The LT1 draws everything it needs from your Digitrax command station or booster through the LocoNet jack you plug it into. Can I test stationary decoders or accessory decoders with it?The LT1 is designed for mobile (locomotive) decoders. Stationary and accessory decoders use different wiring and are best tested with a dedicated programmer or in their intended layout circuit. What does it mean if only some LEDs light up?Each LED corresponds to a specific conductor in the LocoNet cable. A dark LED tells you which wire is broken, miscrimped, or shorted — usually pointing you straight at a bad RJ12 plug on one end of the cable.

  • Digitrax DS44 | Basic Quad Stationary Decoder - For 4 Slow-Motion Turnout Machines | Multi Scale

    Digitrax Digitrax DS44 | Basic Quad Stationary Decoder - For 4 Slow-Motion Turnout Machines | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    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 LT5C | 2-Pack LocoNet Cable Tester Module - Diagnose RJ12 Cables & LocoNet Bus Issues | Multi Scale

    Digitrax Digitrax LT5C | 2-Pack LocoNet Cable Tester Module - Diagnose RJ12 Cables & LocoNet Bus Issues | Multi Scale

    1 In Stock In Store

    The Digitrax LT5C is a handy LocoNet diagnostic tool — it plugs into any LocoNet jack and uses an LED indicator to verify that the cable, the jack, and the LocoNet bus power are all wired correctly. The LED lights up only when ALL six pins of the RJ12 jack get correct signal — making it the fastest way to find a bad cable, a miswired UP5/UP6 panel, or a broken LocoNet run before you spend hours debugging your throttles. This 2-pack gives you one to leave at the start of your bus and one to walk around with. Looking for more DCC tools and accessories? Browse our DCC Decoders and Electronics & Wiring collections. Features 2 LT5C tester modules per pack — one for each end of the bus, or one for the home base and one to walk the layout. Plugs into any standard Digitrax LocoNet RJ12 (6P6C) jack. Single LED indicator lights when all six pins are wired correctly — instant pass/fail. No batteries, no setup — passive diagnostic, draws power from LocoNet. Compact key-fob sized housing, slips into any toolbox or pocket. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number LT5C Type LocoNet cable / jack tester Quantity 2 testers per pack Connection RJ12 6P6C plug Indicator Single LED — on = pass / off = fail Power Drawn from LocoNet bus (no batteries) System Digitrax LocoNet Condition New — sealed FAQ What does it test?It verifies all six LocoNet pins are correctly wired AND that the LocoNet bus is delivering signal at that jack. If the LED is dark, you have either a bad cable, a miswired UP5/UP6 panel, an unplugged section, or a dead command station. Will the LT5C find a specific bad wire?Not exactly — it gives a pass/fail on the whole jack. To narrow down which pin is bad you'd plug it into successive jacks along the bus to find where the fault starts. For pin-by-pin testing, Digitrax also makes the LT1 (more detailed but discontinued in some regions). Do I need two?Two-pack lets you leave one at the command station to confirm the bus is alive, then walk the layout with the other to verify each UP panel and run as you set up or debug. Many builders also leave one permanently plugged into a hard-to-reach drop point for instant verification. Will it work on non-Digitrax DCC systems?No. LocoNet is Digitrax-specific. NCE, MRC, and other DCC systems use different cab buses.

  • Digitrax LNMC3 | 3-Pack LocoNet Modular Couplers - RJ12 6-Conductor Inline Cable Joiners | Multi Scale

    Digitrax Digitrax LNMC3 | 3-Pack LocoNet Modular Couplers - RJ12 6-Conductor Inline Cable Joiners | Multi Scale

    2 In Stock In Store

    The Digitrax LNMC3 is a 3-pack of LocoNet modular couplers — small inline RJ12 (6P6C) joiners that connect two LocoNet cables together to extend a run or splice in additional length. Each coupler has a female RJ12 jack on both ends, so you can chain standard LocoNet cables (like the LNC82) into a longer drop without cutting or crimping anything. Looking for more DCC wiring and accessories? Browse our Electronics & Wiring and DCC Decoders collections. Features 3 modular couplers per pack — join LocoNet cables end-to-end without tools. Female RJ12 6-position 6-conductor (6P6C) jack on both ends — matches all Digitrax LocoNet cables. Maintains full 6-wire LocoNet signal through the connection. Compact inline housing — tucks neatly under benchwork. No batteries, no setup — passive pass-through connector. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number LNMC3 Type LocoNet modular coupler / inline joiner Quantity 3 couplers per pack Connection RJ12 6P6C female — both ends System Digitrax LocoNet Condition New — sealed UPC 652667180078 FAQ What do I use these for?To join two LocoNet cables into one longer run — for example, connecting two 8-foot LNC82 cables to reach 16 feet, or splicing a short jumper into an existing drop. Plug a cable into each end of the coupler. Are these the same as a UP5 panel?No. A UP5/UP6 is a powered plug-in panel for throttles. The LNMC3 is just a passive female-female joiner to extend cable length — no throttle jack, no power, no faceplate. Will signal degrade through the coupler?For typical home-layout runs, no — LocoNet tolerates couplers fine. Avoid chaining many couplers on very long runs; if you need long distance, use a single long cable instead. Digitrax only?Yes — LocoNet is Digitrax's proprietary bus. The connector is standard RJ12 but the wiring/signal is LocoNet-specific.

To run it on DCC, you'd need to install a small N-scale DCC decoder — there is no factory DCC version of this exact item. Can I letter it for my own road?Yes — that's the appeal of the painted unlettered version. The black factory paint takes decals and weathering well, so you can dress it up for any pre-1950s road that ran 0-6-0 switchers. What's the smallest curve it can handle?11.25" radius (or larger). It's happy on tight yard trackage — perfect for the switching role it was designed for. What era is the USRA 0-6-0 correct for?The USRA standard 0-6-0 design dates to 1918, and many railroads kept these in switching service into the 1950s. Good for any Steam Era or Transition Era yard scene.

Sound functions are limited on DC, but motor and lights work normally. What's Hyperdrive2?Soundtraxx's advanced motor control system. It refines low-speed creep so the locomotive switches and starts smoothly, especially valuable for an SD40-2 that often pulls slow drag freights. Does the headlight follow direction automatically?Yes. The decoder supports Rule 17 lighting (separate dim/bright control for prototype operation) or automatic direction-based switching, your choice. What era does the Thoroughbred scheme fit?Norfolk Southern adopted the black-with-white-Thoroughbred-logo scheme in 1982 when NS was formed, and it remained standard for decades. Good for any 1980s-and-later NS layout.

Paragon4 is a true dual-mode decoder — you can run it on standard analog DC or on any DCC system without any changes. Does the sound work in DC mode?Yes. The integral GoPack capacitor pack keeps audio playing reliably even on dirty track or through dead spots, in both DC and DCC. What's "Rolling Thunder"?It's Broadway Limited's accessory subwoofer system that adds prototype-level low bass to the locomotive's prime mover sound. The GP30's onboard speaker handles full audio on its own; Rolling Thunder is optional. What era is this Southern Pacific scheme correct for?The "Bloody Nose" scarlet-and-gray scheme appeared in 1958 and ran through the SP merger in 1996, so this engine fits any 1960s-through-mid-1990s SP layout.

It's a noticeable upgrade over plastic-bodied freight cars in the same size class. What couplers does it use?It comes ready to run with Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers, body-mounted, fully compatible with Kadee and other knuckle couplers.
