The SoundTraxx 882004 is an ECO-PNP Diesel digital sound decoder. Econami is SoundTraxx’s value line: the same 16-bit sound and Hyperdrive2 motor control as Tsunami2, with a smaller sound library and a lower price. It carries 12 polyphonic sound channels and over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects. It is a full NMRA-compliant DCC decoder rated 2A, connecting by drop-in factory light-board replacement with six function tabs. It is designed to drop into Athearn, Atlas, Bowser, Kato and InterMountain HO models. Features 5 diesel prime movers: EMD 567 non-turbo, EMD 645 turbo, EMD 710 turbo, GE FDL-16 and ALCO 244 16 air horns (Nathan, Wabco, Holden and Leslie), 7 bells and 2 air compressors Dynamic braking on F4, plus independent and train brakes Hyperdrive2 motor control for smooth, creep-speed switching Over 20 Hyperlight lighting effects across 6 function outputs 16-bit sound on 12 polyphonic channels, with a 7-band equalizer 28 functions, Flex-Map function remapping and switching mode CurrentKeeper ready — works with the SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper More Information Item Number: SoundTraxx 882004 Model: ECO-PNP Diesel Sound Set: Econami Diesel Scale: HO to S scale Decoder Size: 74 x 17 x 5mm Connection: Drop-in factory light-board replacement with six function tabs Max.

A speaker is not included — browse DCC speakers rated 2 watt, 8-ohm or better, and find install parts in DCC wiring. Add a SoundTraxx 810140 CurrentKeeper to keep sound alive over dirty track. FAQ How is Econami different from Tsunami2?Both are 16-bit with Hyperdrive2 motor control, 28 functions and 20+ lighting effects. Econami has a smaller sound library (5 prime movers, 16 air horns and 7 bells against Tsunami2’s 12, 40+ and 14), 12 sound channels instead of 16, and no reverb. If your prototype is covered by the list above, Econami saves you real money. Is a speaker included?No. Pair it with any 8-ohm speaker rated 2 watt or better that fits your shell. Does it have Dynamic Digital Exhaust?No. DDE is on the Econami steam decoders and across the Tsunami2 line, but not on Econami diesel. You do get dynamic braking on F4. Will it fit my locomotive?It measures 74 x 17 x 5mm and connects by drop-in factory light-board replacement with six function tabs. Check that against the space in your shell before ordering.

The SoundTraxx 885619 is a BLU-4408 Blunami digital sound decoder with the ALCO 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 big-scale Blunami: a 4-amp motor rating and screw terminals instead of solder joints, suited to S, O and Large Scale. Features 9 ALCO prime movers: ALCO 539 Turbo, ALCO 539 Non-Turbo, ALCO 244 Turbo, ALCO 251A i6, ALCO 251C v12, ALCO 251C v12 Super Charged, ALCO 251C v12 Century Series, ALCO 251C v16, ALCO 251C v16 Super Charged 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 8 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 885619 Model: BLU-4408 Blunami Sound Set: ALCO Diesel Scale: S, O and Large Scale Decoder Size: 69 x 30.5 x 14mm Connection: Screw terminal blocks (no soldering) Max.

The Digitrax DH187A0 is a drop-in light board replacement for HO locomotives - you unscrew the factory DC light board and this Series 7 decoder takes its place, keeping the original lighting positions. It is the standard fit for many Kato, Athearn Genesis and Stewart models, and it brings eight FX7 function outputs at 300mA, far more lighting capability than a two-function decoder. Building a DCC fleet? Browse our DCC Decoders, DCC Speakers, and DCC Accessories. Features Drop-in light board replacement - swaps for the factory DC board in many Kato, Athearn Genesis, Stewart and similar HO locomotives. No harness to route. 8 FX7 function outputs at 300mA - enough for headlights, ditch lights, number boards, cab light and class lights, with prototypical effects on each. 1.0 amp continuous, 2.0 amps peak - ample for single-motor HO diesels. Series 7 platform with back-EMF speed stabilisation for steady low-speed control. Standard NMRA DCC - runs and programs on any DCC system, not just Digitrax. More Information Brand Digitrax Item Number DH187A0 Product Type DCC Mobile Decoder (Drop-In Board) Scale HO Motor Current 1.0 A continuous / 2.0 A peak Function Outputs 8 x FX7, 300 mA Connection Direct board replacement Series Digitrax Series 7 Sound No - motor and function decoder only Condition New FAQ How do I know it will fit my locomotive?Drop-in boards are shape-specific. Pull the shell and compare the factory board footprint, mounting clips and light positions against the DH187A0. It is the usual fit for many Kato, Athearn Genesis and Stewart HO diesels, but check yours before ordering - if it does not match, a wired decoder such as the DH127D is the fallback. Why choose a drop-in board over a plug-in decoder?No harness and no wire to hide, and the lighting stays where the manufacturer put it. On models where the light board also carries the motor contacts, a drop-in is usually the cleanest install you can do. What can I do with eight function outputs?Headlight and rear headlight, ditch lights that alternate with the horn, number boards, cab light, class lights - each output can be assigned its own effect and dimming via CV settings. Does it have sound?No. This is a motor and function decoder. For sound in HO, look at a Digitrax SDXH series decoder or a SoundTraxx unit, plus a speaker.
