A very important part of the LokSound system is the speaker. Therefore, we only use specially developed loudspeakers geared to the sound decoder. Here we recommend the following old saying, the bigger the speaker, the better the sound. As such, we offer loudspeakers in various sizes, one of them will surely fit into your loco. Should there not be enough space, you can also install the speaker in a ‘ghost waggon’ directly behind the loco.

ESU 51804 Servo Motor, precision mini-servo, micro-controlled with plastic gearing, incl. mounting kit

The Precision Servo Motor is a high-performance and noiseless actuator, introduced by ESU, suitable for the SwitchPilot decoders. It uses a highly-developed remote control (RC) technique and is perfectly suited for setting in motion all kinds of scenes on your layout. ESU has put all the experience gained with the previous servo motor into the new Precision version, which is better than other servo products, to offer a solution for all the demands of model railroaders.

ESU proudly presents a further, newly-developed servo motor for all ambitious model railway fans. The „Precision Servo Motor - Metal“ is preferred by all model railroaders who look for a powerful servo with metal gearing. Thanks to its metal gearing the servo is able to lift nearly twice the load (1.8 kg) of its plastic gearing brother. Moreover, the „Precision Servo Motor - Metal“ is appropriate for all situations in which splicing and beating claim high mechanical requirements from the servo and where the sound development does not play such an important role.

Our SwitchPilot decoders cannot only control point mechanisms but also daylight signals. Most modern signals are equipped with LEDs. Usually the anode connections of multi-aspect signals are combined in order to reduce the number of wires. Some manufacturers (e.g.: Viessmann®) combine the cathodes and for that reason these signals could not be controlled with the SwitchPilot in the past. Our new adapter provides the solution. Simply plug the adapter into the output terminals of the SwitchPilot and you are ready to go.

SwitchPilot 3 decoders are optimized for stationary use on your system and can switch conventional double coil switch drives, light signals, magnetic uncouplers, light bulbs or other stationary consumption.In order to facilitate the rather cumbersome configuration of magnetic article decoders, the SwitchPilot 3 has an innovative operating concept consisting of a 4-line, illuminated OLED display and three input buttons..

SwitchPilot 3 servo decoders are optimized for stationary use on your system and can control up to eight RC servo drives. In order to facilitate the rather cumbersome configuration of magnetic article decoders, the SwitchPilot 3 Servo has an innovative operating concept consisting of a 4-line, illuminated OLED display and three input buttons.

The ESU SignalPilot decoder is a multi-protocol decoder designed primarily for switching daylight signals. It has 16 outputs to which micro lamps or LEDs (with series resistors) can be connected directly. Because all outputs are designed as push/pull output stages, both daylight signals with common anode as well as daylight signals with a common earth connection (common cathode) are suitable, as is the case with Viessmann® signals. Motorised semaphore signals and turnout drives can also be operated with the SignalPilot.

Perfect for Athearn (and others) this new 9 pin (female) 21MTC (Male) adapter board allows the popular 6 output ESU 21MTC LokSound and LokPilot decoders to be easily added to your favorite locomotive.

ESU's new adapter board 3 for decoders with 21MTC interface is best suited for everyone intending to digitise a loco without interface but with many functions without having to carry out major soldering work.

ESU's new adapter board 3 for decoders with PluX22 interface is best suited for everyone intending to digitise a loco without interface but with many functions without having to carry out major soldering work.

With our small relay, loads are controllable whose draw exceeds the decoder’s function output. Put the relay between output and load.

Many railcars are equipped with a ski at both ends. In order to function correctly in block sections, and braking timely in front of red signals, it is vital for the decoder to employ only one ski for (voltage) pick up – depending on direction of travel.

The 21 MTC adapter board is suitable for digitising a loco without interface and for the case you do not intend to wire the decoder freely.

The 21 MTC adapter board 2 is also suitable for digitising a loco without interface. It is very helpful, if you do not intend to wire the decoder freely or if you wish to use more than four function outputs on your LokPilot or LokSound decoder. This adapter board simulates the typcial size and shape of Märklin® 6090x-decoders and can be installed in every suitable position.

If you own a loco with a PluX jack and would like to install a normal decoder with an 8-pin NEM652 plug? No problem, you just need the ESU PluX adapter board.

With this expansion board you can easily expand your LokPilot V4.0 or LokSound V4.0 decoder (with 21MTC interface!): All you need to do is to plug the decoder onto the expansion board and benefit from using 4 additional function outputs (AUX5 through AUX8) for lighting effects, coupler etc. In addition, you are able to connect 2 RC-servos!

This adapter board can be connected to all decoders with an E24 connection and offers a PluX16 interface on the locomotive side. This means, for example, a LokSound 5 Nano or LokPilot 5 Nano can be easily installed in older locomotives that only provide a PluX16 interface (e.g. some Fleischmann H0 locomotives or Piko N or TT locomotives)

This adapter board can be docked to all decoders with Next18 connector and offers a PluX12 interface on the locomotive side. The Flex PCB can be folded and extended to length almost as desired. The adapter board comes with shrink tubing and speaker connection cables.

This small adapter board is a practical helper for equipping some models (e.g. from Liliput) with a LokSound decoder: A 21MTC interface was installed there, but the required length for a LokSound 5 decoder was not taken into account. With the help of this adapter board, a LokSound 5 micro can be used horizontally in the available installation space. If the width is 21mm, these locomotives can now also be easily converted to LokSound.

Example Dimensions with LokSound 5 micro 58818 plugged in: total width 21.5mm x 19mm length.

The Next18 adapter board is suitable if you want to digitize a very small locomotive without a digital interface, but do not want to hard-wire the decoder. The board is extremely small with dimensions of only 13.0 mm x 9.0 mm. The mounting tabs can also be broken away for tighter fit applications. Functions AUX3 and AUX4, logic outputs, are both amplified (each about 180mA). In total, up to 6 outputs can be used.

Soldered connection cables with a length of approx. 20 cm.

Dimensions: Length 13.0 mm x 9.0 mm (With mounting tongue: 18.0 mm x 9.0 mm).
