The Digitrax TL1 is a single-function DCC decoder with integrated transponding — perfect for adding a controllable function output (lights, smoke, or other accessory) to a non-decoder locomotive while also giving you Digitrax's position-tracking feature on the same board. At just 1.0" × 0.4" × 0.16", it fits in cabooses, passenger cars, lightboards, and even N-scale shells where space is tight. Looking for more DCC decoders and electronics? Browse our DCC Decoders and Electronics & Wiring collections. Features One DCC-controllable function output with full transponding (Digitrax position-tracking) built in — no separate transponder board needed. 1A continuous, 2A peak function output — plenty for headlights, marker lights, rear lights, smoke units, or other accessories. Hardwire install with color-coded leads (blue common, white function, red & black track) — works in HO, N, O, S, and G with appropriate wire gauge. Full CV programming including FX3 lighting effects (Mars, Gyralite, Strobe, Random Flicker, Soft On/Off, etc.). SuperSonic silent-running operation — no audible motor whine. Compatible with all DCC systems following NMRA standards. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number TL1 Type Single function-output DCC decoder with transponding Function Outputs 1 (white) — 1A continuous / 2A peak Motor Output None — function-only decoder Transponding Integrated (no add-on board needed) Connection Hardwire — color-coded leads Size 1.0 × 0.4 × 0.16 in Scale Compatibility HO, N, O, S, G (any DCC scale) Condition New — sealed UPC 652667100052 FAQ What is "transponding"?Transponding is Digitrax's position-tracking technology — the TL1 reports its location back to your command station through compatible Digitrax detection sections, so you can see exactly where a transponding-equipped car or locomotive is on your layout. It's not the same as RailCom but serves a similar role. Does this drive a motor?No — the TL1 is a function-only decoder. It controls ONE output (typically a light or accessory). For motor control you need a full mobile decoder like the Digitrax DH126MT, DZ126, or any other mobile decoder. What can I wire to the function output?LEDs (with appropriate resistor), incandescent bulbs, smoke units, sound modules, ditch lights, mars lights, or any DC-powered accessory drawing under 1A continuous. FX3 effects let you simulate prototypical lighting patterns. Will it work with any DCC system?Yes — the TL1 follows NMRA DCC standards and runs on any DCC command station. Transponding readback, however, requires a Digitrax LocoNet system with appropriate detection sections (BDL168, BDL16, etc.).

The Digitrax TF4 is a quad-function DCC decoder with integrated transponding — four independently controlled function outputs on one tiny board, plus Digitrax's position-tracking feature built right in. Perfect for adding ditch lights, mars lights, rear markers, classification lamps, smoke generators, or any other DCC-controlled accessory cluster to a non-decoder locomotive. Looking for more DCC decoders and electronics? Browse our DCC Decoders and Electronics & Wiring collections. Features Four independent DCC-controllable function outputs (white, yellow, green, purple) — control each one separately via your throttle. Integrated transponding — Digitrax position-tracking built in, no separate transponder board needed. 1A continuous, 2A peak combined function output — plenty for headlights, ditch lights, rear lights, smoke, or accessory clusters. Hardwire install with color-coded leads — works in HO, N, O, S, and G scale. Full CV programming including FX3 lighting effects (Mars, Gyralite, Strobe, Random Flicker, Soft On/Off, Rule 17, etc.) on every output. SuperSonic silent-running operation, NMRA DCC compatible. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number TF4 Type Quad function-output DCC decoder with transponding Function Outputs 4 (white, yellow, green, purple) — 1A continuous combined Motor Output None — function-only decoder Transponding Integrated (no add-on board needed) Connection Hardwire — color-coded leads Scale Compatibility HO, N, O, S, G (any DCC scale) Condition New — sealed UPC 652667100083 FAQ What's the difference between the TF4 and the TL1?The TL1 has one function output; the TF4 has four. If you need to control multiple separate lighting circuits (headlight + ditch lights + class lamps + rear marker) the TF4 is the right call. Both have integrated transponding. Does this drive a motor?No — the TF4 is function-only. For motor + lights in one board, use a full mobile decoder like the Digitrax DH126 or DZ126. What can I wire to the function outputs?LEDs (with resistors), incandescent bulbs, smoke units, ditch lights, mars lights, signal lamps, sound modules — anything DC-driven under 1A combined draw. FX3 effects make each output simulate prototypical lighting patterns independently. Will it work with any DCC system?Yes — standard NMRA DCC. Transponding readback requires a Digitrax LocoNet command station with detection sections (BDL168, BDL16, etc.).

What's the difference between SD70ACe and SD70M?The SD70ACe (this model) uses AC traction motors with a single inverter per truck — smoother low-speed lugging on heavy trains. The earlier SD70M used DC traction. Most Class I roads have moved to AC for new heavy freight units.
