Diesel Plug-n-Play and Drop-in Sound Decoders
DCC Compatibility
 
 

These are 1-amp decoders with sound and front and rear lighting with HyperLight effects. Once installed, these units provide Engine, Bell, Horn, and Dynamic Brake sounds.

The sounds provided by these sound units are digital playback of recordings from real locos, but they are not just simple playback loops. They are interactive and will respond to you, the engineer, just like a real loco. The air horn reacts directly to your control of the horn button, being able to play the grade crossing tune for example.

LC, in the decoder model number, stands for Low Cost. As such, they do not have some of the background sounds that other sound decoders have. While at least one LC model has more functions, most have only two light functions, f or front and rear (or other) lights.

Don't forget to order the manual set if this is your first Throttle Up! Drop-In decoder.

Drop-In, Plug-n-Play, and LC sound decoders all use the same manual, whether steam or diesel, which is different than the manuals for DSD-150 and DSX.
