The main applications are
  • Acquiring power for track-powered DCC decoders or other modules
  • Improving the power pickups for some locomotives that benefit from improved electrical pickups in the tender
These little strips of stainless steel fit between the truck pivot and the axles as shown in the diagram below. Use the supplied hardware to mount the wiper through the truck frame s shown. Use contact inside the car to pick up the power. Put the insulated wheels on the same side in each truck and on opposite sides between trucks.

The AZL1D4 is the first drop-in decoder designed for the latest generation of American Z Line diesel locomotives. The design features a screw-down design, unlike previous designs which relied on slide-on contacts. Examples of locomotives which this decoder will fit include the following:
  • ALCo PA
The AZL1D4 can support up to four lighting functions. This decoder includes on-board forward LED with no soldering required. Optional reverse headlight is available upon request. Additional solder pads for two additional lighting functions are available. Refer to the wiring diagram for details.
  • 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:

While LokPilot 5 decoders can undoubtedly meet all imaginable requirements of even the most demanding experts, many model railway eras are looking for a robust, high-quality DCC decoder for your standard requirements, which should also be affordable.

The LokPilot 5 Basic was developed with the aim of offering a modern decoder with a reasonable range of functions at a reasonable price.

The LokPilot 5 Basic comes in two versions: In addition to a version with an 8-pin NEM interface, a version with 21MTC interface is also available. This makes the LokPilot 5 Basic particularly suitable for use in track H0 vehicles.

Modes

The LokPilot 5 Basic is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 20 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital center.

It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.

The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is also possible.The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used on analog DC webs. The maximum speed can be set separately.The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.

Functions

The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 reinforced function outputs in each version. In the 21MTC interface, there are 8 logic-level outputs at the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor

The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – The typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor.

The Blunami BLU-2200 The BLU-2200 is a universal-style sound decoder that can be operated in three different ways: DC, DCC and Wireless mode. Using the Blunami app (iOS versions 8 or later), you can operate your locomotive with incredible ease of use. This decoder is suitable for use in both HO and small S-scale models. Wireless mode not currently available for android devices. DYNAMIC DIGITAL EXHAUST  For added realism, you’ll love our reactive Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) feature that automatically notches your models engine up or down depending on the load on the motor. With the Blunami App, DDE calibration has never been easier. When your locomotive is traveling across flat terrain and simply maintaining speed, you will hear your locomotive chugging along. But, when the locomotive encounters a grade and the engineer applies more throttle to get the train up the hill, the engine sounds will automatically react and reflect the increase of power needed to crest the hill. DDE accomplishes this by calculating the changes in strain or load on the motor and adjusting the exhaust to appropriately simulate the work the engineer would be doing to the throttle of the engine. This gives Blunami the ability to create the most realistic experience possible. HIGH QUALITY SOUND LIBRARY Our large selection of high quality sound effects include:
  • 10 Exhaust Chuffs
  • Up to 12 Prime Movers in each sound profile
  • Up to 12 Bells
  • 90 Whistles
  • 40+ Airhorns
  • Additional couplers, dynamos, cab chatter and more!
ADDED REALISM Additional realism can be simulated by adding functioning locomotive and train brakes, injectors, power reverse, firebox flicker and more. EASY INSTALLATION The BLU-2200 can simply plug into models equipped with a DCC quick plug. Our 9-Pin JST to NMRA 8-Pin Wiring Harness (P.N. 810135) can also be used to plug the BLU-2200 into models equipped with an NMRA 8-Pin plug. The BLU-2200 can also be wired into a large variety of models. This 2-amp, universal-style format, and includes a connector to easily add a CurrentKeeper (P.N. 810140 or 810160) to maintain performance over dirty track and switches.
