Dummy Board

The Dummy Board is designed for use in rolling stock and non-powered dummy units. The Dummy Board is a Command Control upgrade without a motor driver circuit. It is assigned an Engine ID number and can be used to control directional lighting, front and rear coil couplers, smoke unit/strobe light on/off and Railsounds 4.0. The tiny size of the Dummy Board (1 1/4" wide x 1 1/2" long x 1/2" tall) allows you to install it in virtually anything with pickup rollers!

The Dummy Board can be used in conjunction with an 8 or 15 Amp Driver, where the Driver installs into a powered A unit to control the motors, front light and front coupler. The Dummy Board installs into the dummy A unit and controls the rear light and coupler. This is great because it eliminates any tether that would ordinarilly be required. Especially for Postwar Lionel F-3's where there is not enough room in the powered A unit to add Railsounds. The Dummy Board can control the Railsounds from the dummy A unit as well. There are several uses for a Dummy Board if you just put your imagination to work.

Each Dummy Board features;

• Constant voltage directional lighting (12 VAC)

• Smoke unit/strobe light on/off control

• Front and rear coil coupler control (couplers sold separately)

• Railsounds 4.0 serial lead (for controlling Railsounds 4.0 features) (also controls Railsounds 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0!)

• All necessary installation hardware (i.e. double sided tape, antenna and program/run switch with hardware)

• Comprehensive detailed installation instructions
