TCS DP5, HO Scale Motor Decoder:
The DP5 is a HO-Scale direct-plug decoder designed for engines equipped with 8-pin NMRA sockets. By far one of the easiest decoders to install, the DP5 can be plugged into many locomotives with no effort. The DP5 has 5 available lighting functions, and has been tailored to work with Atlas Silver Series engines. This decoder will also fit many other engines with 8-pin NMRA sockets, including KATO and Athearn where additional lighting functions are needed. An excellent choice for engines with ditch lights!
