PTB-100 Programming Track Booster

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.

PTB-100 is neither needed nor recommended for use with the Zimo MX1 or the Lenz LVZ100. 

Soundtraxx Tsunami Soundcar

Digital Sound Decoder replicates railcar sounds, such as the clickety-clack, flange squeal, flat spots, generator, brake cylinders, and glad hand release. It also includes a selection of user-adjustable horns, bells and whistles for cab cars and cabooses. 

DCC Specialties Block Watcher

No Power Supply Needed:  Develops power from the DCC input connections.Very Low Voltage Drop: The resistance is less than 0.060 Ohms, very small voltage drop.Adaptive Block Leakage Detection: Electronically determines the amount of leakage current in the block when power is turned on. The current can also be set with a CV value up to about 130 mA.Stabilized Setting for Current Trip Level: This prevents the block detection from fluttering on and off when the current is near the trip level.

Block Detection Option: Block detection can be turned on with an Accessory Command for testing signals even with nothing in the block. This feature can also be used to turn the signals red to protect a crossing.

Block Detection Output Isolated from Track Power: The output switch is totally isolated from the track power. This eliminates many wiring problems when combining signal circuits and track power.

Outputs for LED Indicator: A single LED output can be used for a remote location.

This expansion board can easily expand your LokPilot V4.0 or LokSound V4.0 decoder (with 21MTC interface!): Benefit from 4 additional function outputs (AUX5 through AUX8) for lighting effects, coupler etc or connect 2 RC-servos! The highlight of the expansion board is the control electronics for synchronised smoke units, just install an ESU smoke unit to generate synchronised steam chuffs or Diesel smoke.

The board measures 15.5mmx 30mmx 5.5mm (0.61 x 1.18 x 0.22 inch)

The module can be directly plugged into a 21MTC interface of a loco (if enough height available) .

ESU Boards

Easier and Safer Installation. All wires are connected to the soldering points of the adapter board. All contact points (terminals) are present on both - top and bottom and you can remove and reinsert your decoder at any time.

ESU Wire

Super thin, extremely flexible wire,(AWG 36) with an outside dia. of 0.5 mm (0.02 inch), in all common DCC colours. 10m (30 ft) long.

ESU

LokSound XL decoder can handle many commercially available smoke generators, we recommend ESU smoke generators. 

Integral electronics control both the fan and the heating system of the smoke generator with a temperature sensor, the amount of smoke is independent of the track voltage and will burn if the tank is empty.

The amount of smoke and revs of the fan can be determined by the LokSound XL V4.0 decoder allowing both steam smoke plumes as well as diesel exhaust plumes. Steam exhaust plumes can be synchronized by external triggers or can be determined by the LokSound XL decoder.  It also accepts commands via the SUSI interface.

Sizes: 54679 dimensions - 50 x 28 x 30 mm, 

ESU - XL Decoders

51 x 40 mm and available in two different types: Screw-type terminals for installation in older models without an interface socket and a version with multi-pin connectors. This version fits into all locomotives where an older type LokSound XL decoder has been installed previously.

Led Interior Lighting Power Pick ups - 8pk

DCC Dual Frog Juicer/Auto-Reverser/Circuit Breaker

Can be configured to use as an automatic polarity reverser for two frogs, a reversing loop, a turntable, a wye, or a crossing.  It can also be used as a circuit breaker to control a power district (with the bonus it will reverse polarity if needed).  It uses the same basic design as the hex frog juicer but has 33 Amp transistors so it can be used with multi-unit lash ups and 10 Amp boosters.  Setup is simple, connect the input to the DCC track bus, and connect the output wires either to two frogs or two rails.  A jumper controls whether the two outputs act as a pair (i.e. an auto-reverser) or independently (i.e. a pair of frog juicers).  Another pair of jumpers controls the current set point for switching, either 2 Amps or 4 Amps.  When used for frogs or crossings generally 2 Amps work best and for an auto-reversing application, 4 Amps generally works best.

DCC Hex Frog Juicer

Can be configured to use as an automatic polarity reverser for six frogs, or a reverser for one to three reversing loops, turntables, wyes, or crossings.  Setup is simple, connect the input to the DCC track bus, and connect the output wires either to six frogs or rails.  Two jumper controls whether the two, four or six outputs act as pairs (i.e. an auto-reverser) or independently (i.e. a pair of frog juicer).  Should not be used with boosters over 10 Amps.  See the Dual Frog Juicer for 10 Amp boosters.

ESU Switchpilot

Precision Servomotor - High performance and noiseless actuator, suitable for Switch Pilot Decoders.

Micro Singlet Servo Decoder

The singlet has a baby brother, the Micro Singlet. It is a simple servo decoder designed to drive turnouts and only turnouts. It solves the problem of servo buzzing by turning the servo off at the end of the throw. Special circuitry and programming has been built in to accomplish this without a large jerk at restart.

Micro Singlet - designed to control turnouts with DCC or a pushbutton. Simpler than the classic Singlet it is designed only for turnouts.

No buzzing! - servo turns off at end of throw

Simpler setup - center the servo and mount - no alignment needed

Switch with DCC or the included fascia controller

Miniature Servo Motor (SG90)

Have plenty of power for hinged point turnouts and smaller rail (c55 and smaller) solid point turnouts - when used with the servo mounting kit (SMK002 below) then it can handle higher loads, up to c100 non-hinged rail.  If the point rails are hinged then the rail size is not an issue - it has been used up to G scale. Our servo brackets are custom made to fit these servos. Size 1.25" wide (including mounting tabs) x 0.5" deep x 1.125" tall.  Servo lead about 7".  The label on the servo and the lead colors may vary between batches.  Works with all of our boards.

Note: The current demand from the decoders are 0.1 amps. On a DCC layout the addition of a additional booster for a large number will require the additional booster.

Servo Centering Tool

Keep your servos centered while you mount them under the layout.  The tool consists of a battery box connected to a small circuit board that continuously puts out a centering signal for the servo (1.5 ms pulse). Keeping your servos porperly centered while mounting is the key to making the servos work best. The battery box has an on/off switch to save your batteries when not in use. Everyone using servos for turnouts needs one of these. Requires 3 AA batteries.

TurnOn Module - Soft Start Circuit For Large Inrush Currents of Sound Decoders and Stay Alive Decoders

If you have a lot of sound decoders and decoders with stay alive circuits on the track, they can confuse the booster when it starts up in to thinking there is a short because of the sudden current draw of all the capacitors. This circuit prevents that problem by putting a small resistance in to the circuit to slow the current rush and once the voltage gets up a 10 Amp relay bypasses the resistor so that there is a straight connection to the booster. Connect the TurnOn directly after the booster and before any other components. The resistor is 0.5 Ohms 20Watt.

Relay is 10 Amps and turns on at about 10Volts on the track.  Diodes prevent the startup pulse of the relay from getting on to the DCC bus.

Will also work with other brands of boosters and command stations.

Circuit Breaker

Isolates a block to prevent shorts from affecting other blocks.

LAIS

NEM652 8pin HO DCC Base Board for Bachmann & Athearn Trains.

Reduces or eliminates voltage spikes on long runs of DCC bus wire,this is especially important on any DCC track bus wire 40 feet [12 meters] or longer. 

Protects decoders from damaging inductive voltage spikes while help preveting temporary loss of control or runaway problems by preserving DCC waveform accuracy.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A RC FILTER ON THE TRACK BUS?

1) Loss of train control

2) Runaway engines (Take off) :

3) Loss of decoder programming. 

4) Decoders blowing up.

Consider installing a snubber at the end of each cab bus
