NixTrainz NTZ11, Decoder Buddy V8, With 1K Resistors, With Remote Capacitors

NixTrainz NTZ11, Decoder Buddy V8, With 1K Resistors, With Remote Capacitors

Includes One Mother Board and One Connector Board. This motherboard is made generally for ScaleTrains locomotives with NO holes in the frame to accommodate the capacitors. It is a better fit for SoundTraxx and other decoder brands. It should also find uses in other situations where LEDs are mounted on printed circuit boards attached to the frame.

The Decoder Buddy V8 was developed to address the migration of LEDs from the shell to the frame of the locomotive, to provide a stay alive that works with all DCC decoders and give people the ability to use all decoders to their maximum potential. The ease of upgrade and the reliability of soldered joints along with the departure from the rigidity of plug in lighting connectors makes this a very good candidate for upgrades and conversions.

The Motherboard Includes:

• Power Bridge III on the board
• Three versions are available; onboard, remote, and no capacitor
• One 21 Pin Decoder receptacle
• Two pairs of track input pads
• One pair of motor input pads
• Two sets of speaker pads
  Speakers can be wired in series or parallel on the motherboard
• All 12 lighting outputs are protected by 1K resistors onboard
• 8 lighting outputs are duplicated on a separable “small connector board” (included)
• Aux outputs are replicated on the motherboard and the small connector board with respect to the position of LEDs on the locomotive

*This motherboard does not include the 21-Pin Decoder.


This motherboard does include a Power Bridge III with 0.5f effective capacitance

This motherboard and small connector board requires soldering.

*This printed circuit board is NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A DC SYSTEM. However, if the decoder you are using supports DC operation it should work.

The V8 comes with up to 12 lighting outputs. This is consistent with 21 pin decoders.

The V8 comes with 1K resistors onboard which will protect LEDs and provide long life. For dimmer light output the decoder functions can be used.
