TCS 1557 | B-MB4 21-Pin Motherboard w/ Keep-Alive - Bachmann 4-4-0 & Brass | HO Scale

Description

The TCS B-MB4 is a replacement motherboard for the Bachmann Richmond 4-4-0, accepting a 21-pin WOW121 or EU621 decoder for a quick, clean install. An on-board KA2 Keep-Alive® keeps the little 4-4-0 running smoothly over dirty track and frogs, and the universal layout also makes the B-MB4 a great choice for brass models.

Choosing Your Pin Height

The B-MB4 ships in two 21-pin connector heights so the board seats correctly against your decoder. Choose Low Pins for TCS decoders (WOWSound 121, EU621), or High Pins for Soundtraxx & ESU decoders — just match the option to your decoder’s brand.

  • Accepts a 21-pin WOW121 or EU621 decoder for fast installation.
  • On-board KA2 Keep-Alive® for stutter-free running.
