    The A4X is four function HO-scale "drop-in" style mobile decoder for Atlas, Athearn, Kato, etc. locomotives. Examples include the following: Athearn: F59PHI F3 Atlas: RS-1/RS-3/RS-11 C424 GP7 Kato: GP35 If you need more than four total lighting functions, or are using 1.5V bulbs, you should consider the A6X. Back EMF Load Compensation: Provides superior slow speed control and high performance under load. Quiet Drive: Super-quiet motor control for "buzz" free motor performance. DC Mode: Decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can also configure how your lighting effects function on DC. RailCom®: This feature allows the decoder to talk to the command station. RailCom supports expansion for new features. Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves. LED Support: This product does not require external resistors when connecting LED's. Incandescent Bulb Support: This decoder can be used with 12 Volt bulbs. Function Remapping: Buttons 0 through 12 may be used to control the lighting functions of this decoder. Programmable Lighting Effects: Choose from 20 separate user-programmable lighting effects! Dimmable Brightness: Configure multiple different brightness levels for your LED's or incandescent bulbs. Decoder Lock: Feature which prevents accidental/unwanted programming while activated. Airwire™ Compatible: Fully compatible with Airwire™ operation. User-Loadable Speed Tables: Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits. Specs Interface Type: Drop-In Dimensions (L x W x H): 2.85" x 0.682" x 0.138" or 72.39mm x 17.32mm x 3.51mm Scale: HO Scale Continuous/Peak: 1.0/2.0 Amp Total Functions: 4 Function Rating: 100 mA 12V Outputs: 4 LED Outputs: 4

    TCS Keep-Alive® (KA) devices are used to supply power to decoders during times of power interruption due to dirty track or problematic track work.  Newly-redesigned and coming in at half the size of a KA4, the KA2 will power HO or N scale locomotives with approximately one-third of the capacitance of KA3/KA4 devices (depending on the locomotive and motor). This Keep-Alive® includes a 2-Pin Quick Connector Harness for plugging into decoders with a compatible socket. , such as the T4.     Dimensions:  0.35" x 0.35" x 0.61" or 8.9mm x 8.9mm x 15.5mm Scale: HO Scale N Scale Input Rating: 12 to 16V   For more information on how to connect Keep-Alive® including with other manufacturer's decoder products, click the tab above labeled "Documents."
