TCS KAM4, HO Scale Motor Decoder:
This hardwire decoder is the smallest decoder with built in Keep-Alive™ that we produce. It will keep your locomotive operating for 6-15 seconds without power (As a result of dirty track, poor contacts, etc.). While physically larger than a M-series decoder, the KAM4 features the same operational characteristics.
