See the installation pages for a full list of compatible engines!

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.
