The WOW501 is a universal, 5 Amp sound decoder for large-scale locomotives. The WOW501 includes Keep Alive® on-board for stutter-free operation. Function 5 and 6 may be programmed to control a smoke unit with a coil and fan. By programming CV58 with a value of 9, the smoke unit will react to the chuff timing. CD-Quality Sound:  TCS’ world-renowned CD-quality sound. 16 Bits of resolution at 44.1kHz sample rate. Keep-Alive®:  Included on-board for smooth, stutter-free operation. 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. Variable Momentum:  Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves. 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. CAM:  Use a positive voltage trigger to synchronize your chuff rate to your drivers’ rotation. Audio Assist®:  TCS exclusive auditory feedback programming system. Program your decoder without the need to memorize CV’s! User-Loadable Speed Tables:  Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits. Throttle Modes:  Choose from multiple throttle modes to meet your operating needs. True Scale Sound:  A unique WOWSound feature which uses TCS’ exclusive auto-adjusting BEMF technology to automatically change the intensity of the chuff. Prototype Mode also offers dynamic sound volumes which accurately model the real-life equivalent. Also includes pre-programmed acceleration and deceleration values.

The PTB-100 Programming Track Booster is a handy tool for anyone who uses DCC! This device facilitates programming as well as gives some comforting feedback during the programming process. You will instantly know if your decoder has received the programming instruction (or not!) by way of indicator lights on the circuit board. So why might you want (or need) a PTB-100? Certain command stations allow you to read a CV during Service Mode programming, which is useful to verify its current setting. Sometimes trouble reading or verifying CVs may be due to the design of the command station and the decoder itself. All decoders communicate back to the command station using what’s called an acknowledgement pulse, which is defined in NMRA RP-9.2.3 as “an increased load on the programming track of at least 60mA for at least 5ms.” Like most decoders, SoundTraxx Digital Sound Decoders generate the acknowledgment pulse by momentarily applying power to the motor. If the decoder is otherwise working properly (i.e., responds properly on the mainline to speed and direction commands), but the command station is having trouble reading CV data from the decoder, it may be due to incompatibilities between the electrical requirements of the sound decoder (which are different from conventional decoders due to the added audio circuitry) and the electrical characteristics of the programming track. In this case, you will need to use a programming track booster, such as the PTB-100. The PTB-100 amplifies the programming track signals to levels that work best with SoundTraxx Sound Decoders. It is easy to install and inexpensive. An advantage to using the PTB-100 is that it also provides short circuit detection and some helpful diagnostics. The PTB-100 is neither needed nor recommended for use with the Zimo MX1 or the Lenz LVZ100.

This kit includes all the necessary electronics to add sound, motor, and light control to your G scale locomotive and will allow control with analog (DC) power supply. It also has magnet pickup so you can place magnets in your track for the purpose of playing a sound or turning on a light effect when the train goes over the magnets. Further you can Radio Control a locomotive with this kit installed if you obtain a RailPro handheld controller. You can download new sounds and light effects using the built in Direct Radio!  You can use the Ring Engineering Computer Interface (CI-1) and Ring Engineering PC Software to change the sounds and other settings. Programming the Locomotive ModuleYou can use the Ring Engineering Computer Interface (CI-1) and Ring Engineering PC Software to change the sounds and other settings. The CI-1 is a USB dongle that adds RailPro Radio Communication to a PC.Sounds such as the bell, horn, primemover etc, can be changed.Settings like acceleration, deceleration, and much more can be changed too!There is no need to remove the shell of the locomotive or the need for a programming cable because the changes are made by radio control!   Package Contents: LM-4S-G Locomotive Module MPM-1 Magnet Pickup Module Two Track Magnets Speaker Wiring Harness Instruction Manual   Frequently Asked Questions Is the kit preprogrammed?    Yes.  The RAKS-1 is preprogrammed with diesel sounds. So you can wire in the kit per the user manual instructions and operate your locomotive. However, it is recommended to buy a computer interface and set the motor full load current.  Please see user manual for more details about motor full load current.  Can I use any analog power supply?    No.  You should only use the power supplies that we tested to be compatible with RAKS kit.  There is a link below to the list of power supplies that we tested and found to work with RailPro.PowerSuppliesTestedWithRailProLocomtiveModules.htm  Can the RAKS be used for steam locomotives?    Yes.  The RAKS-1 is preprogrammed with diesel sounds so you will need to buy a Computer Interface to change the sounds to steam sounds.  Please see RailPro Assistant and the Computer Interface user manual for more details about motor full load current.  Can I control a locomotive with a RAKS-1 kit installed by radio control?    Yes.  After the kit is installed so that it can be run by analog, you can just buy a RailPro handheld and control the locomotive by Radio Control!!!  Steps to run a locomotive by radio control:  1) Turn the power up on the analog controller.  2) Press Find Product on the handheld controller to load a picture of the locomotive to the handheld controller.  3) Touch the picture of the locomotive to operate it. See user manuals for complete details. Will the included speaker fit in all G scale locomotives?    No.  The included speaker can be used in many popular G scale locomotives.   Can I use my own speaker with the RAKS-1?    Yes.  Many popular G scale speakers will work fine with the locomotive module.  Please see the locomotive module user manual for details on what speakers are ok to use.   Can you install RailPro locomotive modules in older non-DCC ready locomotives? YES.  You can wire in a RailPro module to most G Scale locomotives including ones that were not originally DCC ready.  If your locomotive is non-DCC, you will need to be sure to isolate the motor from the track pickup and be sure that that final wiring is as shown in the locomotive user manual.

"Dual Tool" Manual uncoupling tool & built in Spring Pic There are many modelers that wish to manual uncouple with a small tool and Kadee®offers the #241 "Dual Tool" manual uncoupler and spring pick combination. For manual uncoupling the #118 & #119 shelf coupler the #241 has a "pointed" end to fit around the top shelf. The other "blade" end of the #241 is for standard couplers, also, the blade end has nubs so it can double as a spring pick for inserting small coil springs. To manual uncouple the #118 & #119 coupler with the pointed end of the #241 "Dual Tool", first push the cars together where the coupler knuckles compress against each other, insert the pointed end against the "outside" of the hooked tip of the knuckle as illustrated (the knuckle is the moving part of the coupler head). As the point slips into the coupler it will push the knuckle past the hook of the opposing knuckle. To assist the uncoupling you can push the knuckle tip outward with the point, when the knuckle tips are past each other you can now separate the uncoupled cars.   Package Includes: (1) "Dual Tool" Manual uncoupling tool & built in Spring Pic
