LNL637947, Lionel GW-180 Transformer, 180W Introducing the ideal transformer for operating trains and accessories on expanding and medium-size layouts! From the Postwar-inspired styling of the controller, to the mighty PowerHouse power supply that provides a circuit breaker and on/off switch, this transformer has all the power you need, plus electronic overcurrent protection to help save your sensitive electronics in the event of a short circuit. Use the throttle lever to control speed and power. Operate your favorite features with the bell, whistle/horn, and direction buttons. Two outputs are available on the rear of the unit. A 0-18 volt variable AC output serves as you main track power source. The other programmable AC output is perfect for accessory operation from the same transformer. On the accessory output, simply set the accessory voltage to your desired level for continuous operation until you turn the unit off, completely independent of the train's operation.

MRC1276, MRC Tech 7 Model 760 20VA with Momentum Here’s how momentum works in Tech 7: When a real locomotive is given a throttle increase there is a lag time until the preselected speed is reached. Likewise, when braking a life-size, fast moving train it usually takes a mile or so before it stops. But because lightweight model trains won’t mimic this delay on their own, we create the momentum or inertia electronically. When you increase throttle position on a momentum equipped train control, or operate the brake, a delay circuit slows the rate of track voltage change. This train control is equipped with a switch to bypass the delay circuitry for yard work or switching which require quick throttle reaction. Features: Accutec Technology™ provides smoother performance and helps maintain the extra power when climbing grades or running over poor track conditions Fixed A.C. Terminals for powering switch machines, lights and other accessories Automatic Circuit Protector automatically disconnects power to the track to protect your equipment if overload occurs Main Line Direction Switch - throw the switch to reverse direction of the loco Momentum Control with on and off switch Pressure Sensitive Braking puts you in command of accurate steady deceleration, providing gradual, slow speed braking from any speed 300 Degree Speed Control uses 300 degree throttle for an extended range of control More Powerful than others in its class with power to pull heavy loads and operate accessories Proportional Tracking Control an innovative system of control that yields the most responsive, realistic model train operation Indicator Lights for momentum, power output, and overload conditions keeping you informed of your layout status Advanced Slow Speed Circuitry so your loco can crawl and couple easily This product was added to our catalog on March 8, 2021

MTH501039, MTH 50-1039 - ProtoSound DCS WiFi Digital Command System 2 Product Information Product Line: DCS Scale: O Scale, HO Scale Estimated Release: November 2024 - Latest Update Features: Requires an iOS or Android Smart Device Broadcasts it's own WiFi Signal - no Home WiFi needed 4 input/output channels (requires separately sold AC or DC power supplies) Compatible with past DCS Remote Handheld units (50-1002 and 50-1038) using separately sold cable connecting the remote to the WTIU Overview: Today's DCS Digital Command System features an all-in-one WiFi Track Interface Unit (WTIU) that brings true interactive wireless control to a model railroad. Users utilize their own smart device — iOS or Android — and an intuitive app to run multiple tracks, hundreds of trains and control switches and accessories using the separately sold AIU Accessory Interface Unit. Bi-directional communication between locomotives and the system’s WTIU makes adding and programming locomotives simple and easy. No more ID numbers to remember and no complex icons to decipher. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s fun! DCS can also be controlled with a separately sold DCS Handheld Controller. Regardless of how you control it, DCS is compatible with all Proto-Sound 2.0 or 3.0 equipped locomotives as well as S Gauge and O Gauge locomotives equipped with Lionel® TMCC® and Legacy™ onboard systems; any conventional AC-powered locomotives; or conventional analog DC-powered locomotives in other scales, including N, HO, and G Gauge. Featuring four channels, the new WTIU can now control conventional AC or DC locomotives allowing the user to control command and non-command equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time. The WTIU sets up in seconds and doesn’t require a home WiFi system to operate and can receive commands from an unlimited number of smart devices. WHAT IS COMMAND CONTROL? In conventional model train operation, an AC or DC transformer varies track voltage to adjust engine speed and direction. Command systems such as DCS, however, put a constant voltage on the track (around 18 volts for DCS) and vary speed by telling each engine how much of that voltage to use. Unlike conventional control, command control allows different engines to do different things, even when they are on the same track — like run at different speeds, go in different directions, or make different sounds. You can even combine several engines into a “lashup,” working together under a single throttle. How it works: In the DCS system, commands such as speed, direction, and sound control are sent as radio signals from a smart device to a receiver, which translates those signals into digital information. That digital signal is sent through the rails and picked up only by the appropriate engine — telling it to go, for example, 37 miles per hour, blow the whistle, or smoke more heavily. SIMPLE, EASY SETUP! The DCS System is simple to hook up. You’ll have trains running in just minutes using the handheld or the App! Each WTIU Fixed Input Channel can handle either AC or DC power. You can even mix and run one channel with DC power and the other with AC. This makes it easy to run HO Proto-Sound 3.0 equipped trains using the same WTIU you use to run all other Proto-Sound 2.0 or later locomotives. Each WTIU Variable Input Channel accepts AC or DC power from virtually all AC or DC power supplies, including all M.T.H. AC transformers like the Z-4000, Z-1000, Z-750 and Z-500. Once you’ve got power into the TIU, run the outbound channels directly to the track or to a terminal block for larger layouts. We recommend wiring the channels to the track in 15’ sections to best distribute power and the DCS digital signal. Full details are explained in the DCS User Guide.
