8 & 15 Amp Drivers for DC motors

Dimensions;
1.25" wide x 3.625" long x 1.25" high
Our 8 & 15 Amp Drivers are designed as simple command only conversions for both steam and diesel locomotives. Their small size make them ideal for conversions where space is a premium. Each 8 and 15 Amp Driver is 100% compatible with Railsounds 4.0 (using a separate Railsounds motherboard, a link is provided at the bottom of the page). The biggest assest of the 8 & 15 Amp Driver is its small size, which allows you to add command with or without Railsounds to locomotives that cannot accomodate a SAW board. Each 8 & 15 Amp Driver features;
- Constant voltage directional lighting
- Smoke unit/strobe light on/off control(from the remote)
- 8 or 15 Amp motor driver for DC motors
- Programmable ID number from 1-99
- Front and rear coil coupler control
- Aluminum heat sink for sturdy mounting
- Complete Railsounds 4.0 Compatibility
- 100% compatibility with Phoenix and Sountraxx (special add-on board required)
- Easy-to-follow detailed installation manual
An 8 Amp Driver is capable of handling up to 3 DC motors of any size (Mabuchi, Pittman, NWSL, Machima, Faulhaber, etc). The 15 Amp Driver is designed to handle up to 6 DC motors of any size which is ideal for older US Hobbies F unit ABA sets.
Each 8 and 15 Amp Driver includes everything necessary to complete an installation with ease. If you want to add Railsounds now, or later each 8 & 15 Amp Driver is 100% compatible with the Railsounds 4.0 upgrade kits listed below.
