TCS 1436 ~ DP5-KA ~ Direct Plug ~ Small DCC Tiny Micro Motor Decoder ~ 8 Pin ~ Keep Alive Wires

The DP5-KA 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-KA can be plugged into many locomotives with no effort. The DP5-KA 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!
