Does your locomotive stall on turnouts or lose sound on dirty track? This Bowser capacitor board keeps the decoder powered through brief power interruptions and fits any locomotive equipped with an ESU LokSound V5 decoder, whatever the brand.
Mounted on a small printed circuit board and factory-wired with its plug, it stores enough energy to run the decoder until wheel-to-rail contact returns, eliminating low-speed stalls and sound restarts. It plugs straight into the LokSound V5's PowerPack connector, no soldering, and tucks into the free space under the body shell. Part made by Bowser.
Features
- Keep-alive capacitor board on a printed circuit
- Compatible with any HO locomotive fitted with an ESU LokSound V5 decoder
- Factory-wired with plug (blue U+, white Charge, black GND wires), no soldering
- Plugs into the decoder's PowerPack connector
- Eliminates sound dropouts and stalls on dirty track and turnouts
- Up to 3 seconds of buffer; time adjustable through CV 113
- Made by Bowser
