Product Info
Part of the innovative new HM7000 range, this Next18-pin Bluetooth® and DCC decoder is perfect for getting smaller locomotives working on the HM7000 system. The 18 pin socket is typically fitted to HO and OO scale locomotives.
The decoder is designed to supply 1000mA continuous load to the main motor and a peak demand of 1500mA. Making it highly suitable for many HO and OO locomotives.
**
An R7377 Power Bank can be purchased separately and added to this decoder. We recommend for ease you do this during the first install. The Power Bank will keep the loco operating during short power outages when running over dirty track or complex points - keeping the locomotive operative and the loco moving.
