RWB Line
This large-scale decoder has 8 functions, and can control either DC or AC motors. The function wires are on a JST connector harness. Power pickup and motor leads are heavier wire to handle the heavier current loads. In addition, it has a heavier blue wire to handle the needs of all function wires.

8-Function Decoder
  • 5 amps continuous and 10 amps peak.
  • For all AristoCraft locos with plug-n-play, except the 4-motor SD45 which draws way too much current. For the SD45, use the NCE-D808 (not a plug-n-play).
